An Original Vintage English Magazine (measures 6" x 9" [15 x 23 cm]) (Learn More) Stagecoach, the classic 1939 John Ford (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) 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"; "Nine oddly assorted strangers start out by stagecoach for Lordsburg, New Mexico. Each has his own personal reasons for wanting to get there. Then strange things begin to happen. The telegraph is mysteriously cut... the way station burned to the ground. Danger grows steadily more menacing... until... as convention breaks down, the lives of the travelers are tangled together... you live with them this strange adventure... tense, full of action... deeply moving..."; nominated for the 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 (winner of the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film; 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 but key 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!

Important Added Info: Note that, like in the 1939 American movie paper for this movie, John Wayne was not even pictured or mentioned on the front or back cover of this program. But inside, there is a cool full-page image of him and there is a 2-page spread that has an image of him and an article that says "John Wayne Scores At Last", which runs down how Wayne got his big chance in 1930, but the movie was a flop, and he was "doomed to play cowboy parts", and now he is a big star, but he is still under salary to Republic! Also note that this is a British magazine called "Cinegram Preview" ("A British Magazine Devoted to Outstanding Films"). It was published from the late 1930s into the 1940s. The issues of the magazine (which are numbered) are quite rare, so it seems likely that these disappeared during World War II paper drives!
