Entertainment Reviews:
Integrating the settlers' passionate mortal conflicts into the landscape, Walsh turns the theatrical limitations of early sound technique to an advantage, composing vast, static tableaux with the mighty breadth and noble pace of epic stanzas.
New Yorker
This is a wagon-train movie with Wayne's scout at the center....It's interesting to see his persona in this embryonic form....What's really compelling is the authenticity of the wagon train's journey.

Rating: 3/5 --
More historical than anything, but a must for Wayne fans.

Rating: B- --
John Ford recommended to his friend Walsh bit-part actor Marion Morrison for the lead, and for his first starring role he took the name John Wayne...

Ozus' World Movie Reviews
...It's a splendid entertainment....The film's look and feel seem way ahead of its time...
Los Angeles Times
Rating: 3/5 --
Interesting early wide-screen spectacle with indifferent acting and story.

...It comes off as one of the better early talkies...

Description by OLDIES.com:
One of the first big-screen Western epics, The Big Trail helped establish a then almost unknown John Wayne as the "Duke." In this sweeping pioneer adventure, a courageous young scout (Wayne) leads hundreds of settlers across treacherous cliffs, through brutal snowstorms, Indian attacks and buffalo stampedes to their destiny out west. Along the way, he loses his heart to a beautiful pioneer woman (Marguerite Churchill) whose love he never stops trying to win. Tyrone Power Sr. also stars in this visually spectacular classic that remains one of the greatest movies of its genre.
Product Description:
Pioneers heading for Oregon endure the hardships of weather, unfriendly strangers and internal strife in this sophisticated early sound film. Featuring John Wayne in his first starring role, this straightforward Western tale is now overshadowed by its place in history as an early example of Fox's widescreen Grandeur process, its naturalistic sound, and prototypical Wayne performance.
