Stagecoach (1966 film)
''Stagecoach'' is a 1966 American film, directed by Gordon Douglas as a remake of the John Ford classic black-and-white western ''Stagecoach'', which won two Academy Awards and received five other nominations, including placement among 1939's ten Academy Award for Best Picture contenders, a rare distinction for a western. Taking a differently focused casting approach from the then-27-year-old original version which listed its ten leading players in order of importance, the story's ten central characters were portrayed in 1966 by major stars billed in alphabetical order.
==Cast comparison with the 1939 version==
In parallel with the 1939 version, Ann-Margret, who is listed first, replaces first-billed Claire Trevor as the dancehall hostess/prostitute Dallas. Red Buttons, in second place, takes the role of Mr. Peacock, the alcohol peddler in a minister's garb, played in 1939 by 8th-billed Donald Meek. Third-placed Michael Connors portrays the tough gambler, Hatfield, originated by fourth-listed John Carradine. Alphabetically-fourth Alex Cord〔(Austin, Guy in Hollywood. "Show Business / Rodeo rider turns film star… / Will this new Ringo succeed John Wayne?" (''The Sun-Herald'' , June 19, 1966, page 93) )〕 is the Ringo Kid, the role that made second-billed John Wayne into a star beyond the quickly made low-budget B-western series which had primarily represented his screen appearances during the 1930s. In fifth place is Bing Crosby,〔(Wilson, Earl. "Bing Says Sinatra Is Hard To Coop Up" (''The Herald Trubune'' , August 21, 1965, page 19) )〕 making his final major acting appearance in a theatrical feature, playing the alcoholic Doc Boone, bringing his own interpretation to the character portrayal which won fifth-billed Thomas Mitchell the 1939 Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.
Sixth-placed Bob Cummings plays the embezzling banker Gatewood, a role assigned in 1939 to 9th-billed Berton Churchill, while seventh in line Van Heflin is the marshal, Curley, played in the original by 7th-billed George Bancroft. The eighth alphabetical position is taken by Slim Pickens as the coach driver, Buck, initially portrayed by third-billed Andy Devine, while ninth place falls to Stefanie Powers as the pregnant Army wife, Lucy Mallory, played in 1939 by the 6th-billed Louise Platt. At the end of the alphabetical cast, Keenan Wynn, in tenth place, is Luke Plummer, the patriarch of a family of killers, portrayed in 1939 by western star Tom Tyler, billed 11th in the end credits. Finally, 12th-billed supporting player Joseph Hoover portrays the Lieutenant, a character originated by Tim Holt, who was listed 10th in the 1939 credits.
Also in the cast, playing their sole credited film roles, were two artists, 15th-billed David Humphreys Miller, a 47-year-old western historian who specialized in the culture of the northern Plains Indians and created, among his works, 72 portraits of the survivors of the Battle of the Little Bighorn, and 20th-billed Norman Rockwell, 71 years old, who was engaged to be on the set in order to paint the portraits of the stars and assigned the small role of a town poker player nicknamed Busted Flush.〔("Norman Rockwell Goes Hollywood" (Norman Rockwell Museum of Vermont website) )〕 The film's closing-credits sequence features the full-screen inscription, THE CAST AS PAINTED BY NORMAN ROCKWELL, followed by images of each of the ten cast members in the same order as in the opening credits. The portraits were also used in the poster for the film.〔(Curry, Adrian. "Movie Poster of the Week: The Movie Posters of Norman Rockwell" (''MUBI'', 09 July 2010) )〕
