This remake is a treasure due to the fabulous cast. Very interesting performances by Bing Crosby as the drunken doctor, Oscar winner Red Buttons as the Whiskey drummer, Slim Pickens as the stagecoach driver, Bob Cummings as the bank clerk with a secret and Keenan Wynn is frighteningly evil. The lovely Ann-Margret in an early role as the beautiful dance hall girl Dallas. Alex Cord is sexy and mysterious as Ringo. This is my favorite Stagecoach. Norman Rockwell does the paintings and appears in a cameo. Theme song by Wayne Newton. This film is also gorgeous with excellent scenery. I found these characters stayed in my memory for many years. Enjoy.

I've loved this one since I was a kid. Super pairing of Monroe and Mitchum. The worst part of this film is the despicable way the Indians were portrayed. I just cringe watching these bits. Typical old Hollywood. This is a beautiful film to watch- filmed in Northern Canada- gorgeous scenery. And of course, Marilyn is too. What a loss she is indeed. There is something haunting about this old western. I think it's the errie music. The title song is sung by both Tennesse Ernie Ford and Marilyn. I've always loved any chance to see Tommy Rettig and he is wonderful in this one.

This mini series is wonderful. Fascinating, sad and haunting. I have just purchased the remastered version on DVDs and it is even more beautiful to watch. Wonderful on location photography in Yorkshire, Oxford, Malta and Venice. Excellent cast with wonderful performances by Jeremy Irons, Nickolas Grace, Phoebe Cates, Claire Bloom, Lord Olivier, Jeremy Sinden and Anthony Andrews. Lovely music too. Evelyn Waugh believed that "not more than six Americans will understand it." The sad waste and decay of the old powerful aristocracy is brilliant and not at all difficult to understand. Don't miss this series- it will stay with you always.
