YOU WILL FIND: Reactions and commentary on movies I have seen, including "spoiler" references (because otherwise it wouldn't be much more than "mm, ug, liked it" or "argh, didn't like it") YOU WILL NOT FIND: Detail by detail summaries (because it's not the present purpose of this blog) READ. COMMENT. ENJOY. THANKS FOR VISITING.

"Stagecoach" (1939)
Western. Opening credits advertise music based on American folk songs--"I'm leaving Cheyenne", "I'm going to leave old Texas now" "I dream of the Jeannie with the light brown hair" are some of the ones I remember catching, but I'm sure that's not all of them. Story has a major theme of social class tensions in it. Also plays with questions of right and wrong--at least a little. The black cat was a nice touch. This is the John Wayne movie with the Apache who is shot off a lead pair of horses (of 3 pair) and is driven over by the stagecoach. Music was nice, yes. Nice flesh and blood characters.
