Stagecoach (1939)
John Wayne as The Ringo Kid (with no observable connection to the Ringo of Old Wild West fame). This is the movie that transmogrified Wayne into a star.
John Carradine as Hatfield, a character based on Doc Holliday.
Thomas Mitchell as a drunk (he also played a drunk in It's A Wonderful Life).
Andy Devine as a buffoon (he always played a buffoon).
Claire Trevor as a soiled dove with a heart of gold.
A movie of stereotypes, but still worth watching once.

Stagecoach is (I hear) a great American film, which is apparently a version of de Tocqueville's _Democracy in America_ (a classic: we have a copy at home. I highly recommend it).
