and the obviously-NOT-pregnant Louise Platt magically giving birth kind of irritated me too.

I believe in that instance the MPPDA script vetting committee only approved Stagecoach and other films that had a pregnant character (Thin Man series) so long as the actress did not appear pregnant, and naturally the childbirth scene could only be addressed obliquely and distantly, not actually portrayed.
though I could be misremembering.
I've been meaning to revisit stagecoach for a while now, I remember thinking that it was a huge influence on Kurasawa (and also Citizen Kane of course) but I'd like to watch it again in the light of the other Ford films I've seen since.
Stagecoach was actually the first film I posted on back on the first page of this thread.
