Despite Technicolor, some famous performers, and a modern score, this remake is a pale imitation of the original. The 1939 film starred accomplished actors and featured a moving score based on traditional melodies including 'Bury Me Not on the Lone Prairie.' My advice: skip this noodle and look for a streaming version of the original Stagecoach, with John Wayne, Claire Trevor, Thomas Mitchell, and Donald Meek.
