An Original Vintage Pressbook (pb; measures 11" x 17 1/4" [28 x 44 cm]; 8 pages) (Learn More) the 1948 double-bill of Stagecoach, the classic 1939 John Ford cowboy western ("A powerful story of 9 strange people"; "Excitement That Rises To A Fever Pitch - and never lets you go!"; "A Strange Frontier Incident of 1885"; "2 Women on a desperate journey with 7 Strange Men"; nominated for the Best Director and Best Picture Academy Award; about a stagecoach that is carrying a group of people across the plains through Apache territory and personal differences) starring Claire Trevor (as Dallas, the "marked" woman), John Wayne (as The Ringo Kid), Andy Devine (as a babbling driver), John Carradine (as a gambling "gentleman"), Thomas Mitchell (in his Best Supporting Actor Academy Award winning role as a drunk doctor), Louise Platt (as a pregnant upper class lady), George Bancroft (as a sheriff), Donald Meek (as a whiskey salesman), Berton Churchill, Tim Holt, and Tom Tyler (in a small role). Note that John Wayne had received the starring role in "The Big Trail" in 1930, and it had done poorly, and his starring days seemed to be over! In the mid-1930s, he successfully starred in a series of low budget B-westerns, but was not considered for major productions. But in 1939, when Gary Cooper turned down the lead in "Stagecoach", John Ford took a chance on John Wayne, but the studio thought so little of him that he wasn't pictured on the one-sheet or most of the advertising! AND Eugene O'Neill's The Long Voyage Home, the 1940 John Ford Irish ocean ship sailor adventure melodrama ("The love of women in their eyes...The salt of the sea in their blood!"; "Loaded with dynamite!"; "This mighty melodrama of the sea... a story of primitive human joys and hatreds as only Eugene O'Neil could write it!"; "America's greatest playwright sets forth the savage emotions of sailormen and waterfront women... in a melodrama tumultuous as the rolling sea itself! Played by a brilliant cast... filmed by the gifted director of 'Stagecoach' and 'The Grapes of Wrath'."; "From a tiny tropic island... girls come aboard a womanless ship!"; "Quick-witted Driscoll, brilliantly played by Thomas Mitchell, Academy Award winner."; "Close-mouthed Smitty [Ian Hunter]... who kept his trouble to himself."; "From a tiny tropic island... Girls come aboard a womanless ship!"; "Eugene O'Neill, America's greatest playwright, reveals the savage emotions of sailormen and waterfront women"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award) starring John Wayne, Thomas Mitchell, Ian Hunter, Barry Fitzgerald, Wilfrid Lawson, John Qualen, Mildred Natwick, Joe Sawyer, Carmen Morales, and Ward Bond NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
