The scene scheduling skills are solid. The camera basically does not move, and the wide-angle lens is mostly used. When Ringo came out, he used a zoom lens. It is an early use of this technology, but it is relatively stable. John Ford is a master of atmosphere, and the two battles in the whole film are quite classic. As the idol of Akira Kurosawa, the chase scene of "Heroes of the Warring States" should learn from here. The script comes from "Ball of Suet", which mainly tells about 9 characters: the escaped cowboy Ringo, the doctor, the wine dealer, the gambler, the policeman, the coachman, the banker who absconded with the money, the officer's wife and the deported prostitute Dallas Inge A story that takes place in a stagecoach for reasons that decide to travel to a small town. Robert McKee's dimensional arrangement of these characters is precise. Ringo is the most inked, followed by the doctor, Dallas, the gambler, the banker, the policeman, the officer's wife, the coachman and the wine merchant last, all the comedy elements are arranged on them. These arrangements keep the group play busy but not chaotic. The Gambler is well-played, with a self-destructing look on his face when he shoots in a big fight, like the peasant who defies Jack Palanche in "The Wilderness" and dies when he wants to do evil. In the end it seemed that he was the son of a judge. The film also shows Ford's right-wing class views, but does not demean the marginalized.
