Kaylah 2022-12-08 12:04:42

An early American Western with a simple storyline with 8 people. Traveling in the car, an alcoholic doctor, an escaped cowboy, a prostitute who was driven out of town, a gambler, a pregnant officer's wife on a family visit, a liquor salesman, a banker who ran away with money, an escort the sheriff. They have different occupations, identities, and different circumstances, and their fates are tied together by chance. They show the kindness or ugliness of human nature in the face of difficulties and dangers. The bankers who seem to be sanctimonious are despicable people; The doctor with a disreputable reputation is a genius doctor with noble medical ethics and a rejuvenating hand; the notorious escaped prisoner is a chivalrous avenger with courage and courage; and the scorned prostitute is a kind-hearted and selfless help girl; The sheriff who enforced the law like a mountain was moved by the truth, and the extra-judicial benevolence was full of affection. The ending of the story is, of course, punishing evil and promoting good, good is rewarded, and evil has evil.

Stagecoach quotes

  • The Ringo Kid: That was my kid brother that broke his arm. You did a good job, Doc, even if you were drunk.

    Dr. Josiah Boone: Thank you, son. Professional compliments are always pleasing.

  • Marshal Curly Wilcox: Now folks, if we push on we can be in Apache Wells by sundown. Soldiers there will give us an escort as far as the ferry. Then it's only a hoot and a holler into Lordsburg. We got four men who can handle firearms - five with you, Ringo. Doc can shoot if sober.
