Saddle Up For Stagecoach Prints
Nothing says wild west on a movie poster better than an image of John Wayne. The Stagecoach movie poster of 1939 had just that and by 1939 John Wayne had established himself as one of the premier actors in the Western genre in all of Hollywood. His role as The Ringo Kid in Stagecoach helped propel Wayne to an even greater level of fame and the movie itself helped to spawn a series of remakes and even a television series later on. A Stagecoach poster in the late 1930's and on was a must have for any fan of western movies and those Stagecoach prints featured a young looking John Wayne in the cowboy outfit that he would be so associated with for the rest of his career. Many people used to joke that the outfit in the Stagecoach print is the same cowboy outfit that Wayne wore in all of his western movies but, obviously, this is not true but it speaks to some of the things that made John Wayne famous and then a legend. The Stagecoach prints are just one kind of John Wayne poster that was available during his career and they all would usually feature Wayne in the same sort of cowboy outfit. Later in his career he would also become famous for his roles as a hard edged fighting man in World War II movies but in his early days John Wayne became known as the prototypical American cowboy. Thanks to Stagecoach you could also find a Clair Trevor poster back in those days as well as the blonde bombshell was propelled up the fame ladder just like Wayne was. John Wayne made dozens of movies but Stagecoach is one that he will be remembered for in the many years to come. Along with the Stagecoach movie poster we know from John Wayne there was also a Stagecoach movie poster from 1966 as well. The plot was similar as the 1939 movie but the remake of Stagecoach did not do nearly as well as the original. The remake is known as Bing Crosby's final movie role and that can make that Stagecoach movie print valuable in the eyes of many collectors even if the movie poster itself is very difficult to find today. The original stands as the movie that everyone points to when they discuss the movie Stagecoach and it is one of hundreds of movies that John Wayne had made in his career. John Wayne went from a simple actor to an American icon and it was movies like Stagecoach that did it. He established himself as a hard edged cowboy and then later in his career redefined himself as a hard edged soldier but through it all John Wayne become known as the prototypical man's man and that is the thing that propelled him to the status of American icon and legend that will never be forgotten. His legend is just as strong today as people will often use the phrase "If John Wayne were alive today" to discuss how a real man would react to a situation anywhere in the world.
