Review of The Big Trail (1930) by Ben S — 02 Nov 2016
More a historical document than a conventional movie. While the depiction of the Oregon Trail might not be authentic, the portrayal of pioneer life is genuine.
If getting a slice of frontier history from a cast that looked like they'd lived through it isn't enough, there is a reasonable story and a very pretty John Wayne as leading man (who would blieve he was a heart-throb once!).
Highly recommended.
