John Wayne began working in films in 1926 as an extra, propman, and stuntman, mainly for the Fox Film Corporation. He frequently worked with director John Ford and when Raoul Walsh suggested him for the lead in The Big Trail (1930), an epic western shot in an early widescreen process called “Grandeur Scope.” it was Ford who vouched for him. Wayne’s early period as a star would be brief, as Fox dropped him after only three leads.

This movie is packed with a variety of camera positions. Those who know about cinema technique of these days will easily see that this is great cinema of those times and the the camera man (men) did a real great job. The movie is a must to see. I give five stars of five for it.
