5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Coverage of a Classic Film, July 26, 2002

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Stagecoach (BFI Film Classics) (Paperback)
This is a very good entry in the BFI series. Buscombe takes us from the development of the film (Gary Cooper and Marlene Dietrich as Ringo and Dallas!!!) to its release and reception. He does a very thorough job, covering things like political implications, the musical score, the compensation of the cast, and the role of "Stagecoach" in the revival of the Western at the end of the Thirties. All of his judgments seem very sound and are free of jargon.

Really, this is a fine book for anyone interested in Westerns, John Wayne and John Ford. Strongly recommended.
