Stage Coach

Enjoyed this one. Opens in a little western town with a stagecoach pulling in carrying a woman and a man. The woman is a calvary officer's wife on her way west to join him and the man is a whiskey seller. While the stage coach changes its horses, the woman goes into the cafe with some friends who are also with the calvary and the man goes into the bar. When they are ready to push on, they are joined by a drunken doctor, a wanton womam, a notorious gambler, and the sheriff, who is seeking John Wayne, an escaped prisoner. Because Geronimo is in the area, a calvary detatchment escorts them to the next town over and leaves. Upon arrival, the woman learns her husband is no longer there, but at the next town over, and wounded. She is ill and passes out, later giving birth to a little girl. They planned on waiting another day to let her rest, but the sight of indians forces them on. The wagon train is attacked and just as they run out of ammo, the cavalry arrives to save the day. John is released and he and the wanton woman head to his ranch across the border. The drunken doctor is played by the man who played Gerald O'Hara in Gone With the Wind and one of the other characters sounds like the guy that played the drunk Santa at the start of Miracle on 34th Street.
