John Wayne Radio Adaptations: Stagecoach / Fort Apache

• Track Listing

STAGECOACH - FORT APACHE - Sounds of Yesteryear - This CD features two radio adaptations of famous Western movies introduced by the legendary director John Ford. 'Stage Coach' is the movie that propelled John Wayne to fame. Previously he had appeared in 'B' movies but after his performance in this film he was to go on to become a major movie icon. Stagecoach is a magnificent western - one of the highlights of American cinema - it is a satisfying finely crafted work, not least because of John Ford's ability to create a tangible sense of time and place in a displaced community against the majestic surroundings of his beloved Monument Valley.
