Stagecoach

Geronimo and his band of Apaches are out to attack the good white people on the western frontier. Good thing John Wayne is riding shotgun in the stagecoach. Hence the title, "Stagecoach." Given recent events, I found most interesting the character of the banker. In the eponymous stagecoach rides a banker who repeatedly iterates, rather forcefully, his opinion that what's good for banks is good for the country. Nobody should question the banks. And what is he doing in the stagecoach? He's fleeing the jurisdiction because he's ripping off the payroll deposit for the mine. Prescient.
