This one has me stumped, or maybe it is because I have a cold making me go all thumbs on the IMDB.
Anyhow, I do remember that on TV, a long time ago, I caught a very old western that had a woman waiting (or lost?) for a ride alone on a road in the desert, when to her fortune, a stagecoach appeared going her way.
The driver advised her that he could not stop for anything else other than give her a ride to the city, and she had to ride on the seat over the stagecoach with him. He had to travel fast, so the ride was going to be bumpy, still she accepted.
When they arrived to the destination, the reason for the haste was explained: a governor (?) wanted to impress an important head of state by serving his favorite dish: oysters, the stagecoach had oysters and ice inside.
Two questions here:
What was that movie?
And, did the early transportation of perishables in the old west involved going to high mountains for ice, and then a ride to the sea for the items, and then inland again?
