About this product

Product Information

Jonathan Wiggs is a sardonic Mormon taking a wagon train of his people to Utah's San Juan Valley. En route, the group comes upon a medicine show troupe, and they too become part of the caravan. As the trek continues, the Mormons also begins to run low on water, which is less of a problems than a meeting with the murderous Clegg family, led by the unctuous Uncle Shiloh , who claims that he and his five 'boys' are simple cowhands. To avoid violence, Wiggs allows them to join the convoy but regrets it when the medicine troupe attempts to leave the wagon train and is stopped at gunpoint by the Cleggs.

Additional InformationJohn Ford said of this film, 'WAGON MASTER came closest to what I hoped to achieve.' A relaxed epic Western without major stars, it features Ward Bond as Jonathan Wiggs, a sardonic Mormon taking a wagon train of his people to Utah's San Juan Valley with freewheeling cowpokes Travis Blue (Ben Johnson) and Sandy Owens (Harry Carey Jr.) as guides. En route, the group comes upon a medicine show troupe, run by Dr. A. Locksley Hall (Alan Mowbray), that is heavily under the influence of its product and out of water, and they too become part of the caravan. As the trek continues, the Mormons also begins to run low on water, which is less of a problems than a meeting with the murderous Clegg family, led by the unctuous Uncle Shiloh (Charles Kemper), who claims that he and his five 'boys' are simple cowhands. To avoid violence, Wiggs allows them to join the convoy but regrets it when the medicine troupe attempts to leave the wagon train and is stopped at gunpoint by the Cleggs. An enjoyable character-based excursion that draws humour from the uneasy coexistence of a wide range of social types, WAGON MASTER showcases the gruff and appealing Bond in a role that he would repeat, with little alteration (and great popular success), on television's WAGON TRAIN.

  • John Ford Western Classic

    For fans of the western genre, this one is not to be missed! Classic character mix on a journey with trials and tribulations. Cinematography praiseworthy as one would expect with a Ford production.

  • brilliant

    Purchased to give me an insight ( although dramatised) into my 4 x great aunts history as a mormon pioneer. Also, you can't beat a good old movie based on lives past.
