The Big Trail (1930)
Breck Coleman (John Wayne) leads a wagon train of pioneers through Indian attack, storms, deserts, swollen rivers, down cliffs and so on while looking for the murder of a trapper and falling in love with Ruth.
For it's time , this was a true film epic and even now it still holds up pretty well. The only thing I find strange about this movie is seeing this young skinny 20 year old kid walking around and hearing John Wayne's voice coming out of his mouth. I guess we were all young once.
Now lets jump ahead 31 years to my next movie of the day:
The Comancheros (1961)
Texas Ranger Jake Cutter (John Wayne) arrests gambler Paul Regret, but soon finds himself teamed with his prisoner in an undercover effort to defeat a band of renegade arms merchants and thieves known as Comancheros
Very entertaining fun western adventure. Good cast lots of action.
