Happy Birthday, John Wayne!


Recommended Posts

I think, in honor of his birthday, I will be watching a couple of my favorite movies of his. 

 

Do you all realize he started acting in 1930? I must admit, I do not care for his early movies. He sure made up for them though. :D

The Big Trail, one of my favorite JW movies was released in 1930.  It has hundreds of actors, scores of covered wagons (before Hollywood made their own), real snow storms, oxen pulling the wagons, real Indian actors, a realistic Indian village, marvelous scenery, and pretty decent acting and costuming  for its day.  

 

Also had the people "scissoring" wagons down a cliff, and a river crossing where I think dozens of cattle must have really drowned.  They were washed downstream and I don't see how they could have been caught and saved.

 

I just hope it is NEVER colorized.
