Dodge City

Dodge City is a western movie starring Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland. Directed by Hungarian-turned-Hollywood filmmaker Michael Curtiz and based on a story by Robert Buckner, it was filmed in early Technicolor. As a classic western, Dodge City contains — with the possible exception of an attack by hostile Red Indians — all the stock ingredients and clichés the genre has usually been associated with. It chronicles the rise, after the end of the Civil War, of the small frontier post of Dodge City, Kansas to civilized and respectable town and trading place for cattle. In the process, Dodge City has to get rid of the baddies terrorizing the citizens, and it takes a new sheriff and his deputy to clean up the town and introduce law and order.

There's the 23rd marker, sir.

:01:46

Twenty-three miles
in one hour and 14 minutes.

:01:48

- Gentlemen, that is moving.
- Our engineer is trying to set a record.

:01:53

I doubt if we can maintain this speed
on our regular schedule.

:01:56

Why not? If this train can do it,
the rest of them can.

:01:59

Providing Colonel Dodge's new town
is worth speeding to reach.

:02:02

You wait.
Right now it's the end of the line...

:02:05

...but in a couple years,
it'll give more business...

:02:08

...than any town west of Chicago.
- I hope you're right.

:02:11

You've stuck to that argument
for five years.

:02:13

Why shouldn't I? I've raised that town
from two hog pens and a buffalo waller.

:02:19

How big is it now, colonel?

:02:21

Well, at the last census, gentlemen,
they had three buffalo wallers.

:02:28

Look. There goes the stagecoach
from Wichita.

:02:31

We'll be carrying the mail
from now on.

:02:36

Listen to the darn snorting teapot.
She's already winded.

:02:39

- By Jove, we'll run her into the ground.
- Better pull your whip to him.

:02:49

- Willie.
- Yes, sir, boss?

:02:52

You tell our engineer if that
stagecoach beats us, he's fired.

:02:56

Yes, sir. And if this train
go any faster...

:02:58

...I'm gonna get off and walk
because I don't like this zest of the Lord.
