Description of this Fantastic Ride Movie Poster
Fantastic Ride is a 1939 American western film directed by John Ford, starring Claire Trevor and John Wayne in his first role. The screenplay by Dudley Nichols is an adaptation of “The Stage to Lordsburg,” a 1937 short story by Ernest Haycox. The film follows a group of strangers aboard a stagecoach through dangerous Apache territory.
Fantastic Ride was the first of many westerns that Ford filmed in Monument Valley, in the American Southwest, on the Arizona-Utah border, and in which John Wayne starred. Scenes from Stagecoach, including a sequence introducing John Wayne's character Ringo Kid, mix shots of Monument Valley with shots filmed at the Iverson Movie Ranch in Chatsworth, California, the RKO Encino Movie Ranch and other locations. Similar geographic incongruities are evident throughout the film, until the final scene where Ringo (Wayne) and Dallas (Trevor) leave Lordsburg, in southwestern New Mexico, through Monument Valley.
The film has long been recognized as an important work that transcends the western genre. Philosopher Robert B. Pippin observed that the characters and their journeys "are archetypal rather than merely individual" and that the film is a "mythical representation of the American aspiration for a politically significant form of equality." In 1995, the film was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the United States Library of Congress and selected for preservation in its National Film Registry. Like most westerns of the era, its depiction of Native Americans was criticized.
