What's left behind the scenes
- Like most other films by John Ford, the filming took place in Monument Valley, Utah.
- “Stagecoach” was one of the few Westerns that made it into Soviet cinema release. In Soviet release, the film was titled “The Journey Will Be Dangerous.”
- The American Film Institute ranked the film ninth on its list of the greatest Westerns in film history in 2008.
- Famous David O. Selznick was interested in producing the film, but he would only take on the work if Gary Cooper played Ringo and Marlene Dietrich played Dallas.
- For Ford, the film was the first sound Western, and indeed the first Western in the last 13 years.
- When asked why the Indians didn't simply shoot the horses during the chase to stop the stagecoach, John Ford replied directly and plainly: "If they had, the film would have ended too quickly."
- Having bought the rights to adapt the story and commissioned Nichols to write the screenplay, Ford attempted to interest David Selznick in the project as early as 1937. Due to Selznick’s preoccupation with the production of 'Gone with the Wind' and delays in starting filming, Ford moved to another independent studio owned by Walter Wanger. The latter insisted that established stars Gary Cooper and Marlene Dietrich play the leading roles, but Ford flatly refused to compromise. He only saw John Wayne in the role of Ringo, who had ceased to be considered a promising actor after the failure of the Western 'The Big Trail' (1930).
- Following negotiations with Ford, Wanger's studio finally gave the project the green light, although they significantly cut its funding. Ford was given the condition that the well-known Wayne, and not the popular actress Claire Trevor of the time, would be prominently featured in large print on all posters. Accepting this condition, the director presented Wayne (his longtime protégé and friend) on screen later than the other actors, and in a particularly striking manner. Some of the character actors moved from Ford's previous film, 'The Hurricane' (where a group of people also face imminent disaster) to 'Stagecoach'.
