Stagecoach is a 1966 American Western film, directed by Gordon Douglas between July and September 1965, as a color remake of the Academy Award-winning John Ford 1939 classic black-and-white western Stagecoach.[3] Unlike the original version which listed its ten leading players in order of importance, the major stars are billed in alphabetical order.[4]
