The Big Trail

The Big Tail is quite notable for the fact that it took John Wayne from being an extra to a headlining star. Director Raoul Walsh was told by John Ford that he “liked the looks of the new kid with a funny walk,”and Walsh cast Wayne, who would eventually be known as one of the greatest names in western films.
