Federico Fellini on 'Stagecoach' (1939) & what John Ford said to him when they met: "'Stagecoach' (1939) is cinema in its purest form, grandiose and spectacular. When I met John Ford, I tried to convey to him all my enthusiasm for the film and called it 'Red Shadow', translating directly from the Italian title. “Ah, what a nice title!” John said, with his black eye-patch, “but I never thought it up.” ('Conversations with Fellini', edited by Costanzo Costantini, translated by Sohrab Sorooshian, 1995)
