Directed by: John Ford
Starring: John Wayne, Claire Trevor, John Carradine, Andy Devine
Factual error: The distance from Lee's Ferry to Lordsburg is over 500 miles, not a trivial distance by stage coach. But in fact, the stagecoach travels several times through Monument Valley, back and forth. Monument Valley is on Navajo Reservation, nowhere near the Apaches or Geronimo.
Factual error: This movie takes place in 1880. Near the end, Luke has a "dead man's hand" with "Bee" cards which did not start being made until 1892 (which is why 92 appears on the spade ace in those decks).
Continuity mistake: When the stagecoach enters Tonto street, it's shadow switches sides between angles.
Marshal Curly Wilcox: Come busting in here - you'd think we were being attacked! You can find another wife.
Chris: Sure I can find another wife. But she take my rifle and my horse. Oh, I'll never sell her. I love her so much. I beat her with a whip and she never get tired.
Dr. Josiah Boone: Your wife?
Chris: No, my horse. I can find another wife easy, yes, but not a horse like that.
