John Wayne began working in films in 1926 as an extra, propman, and stuntman, mainly for the Fox Film Corporation. He frequently worked with director John Ford and when Raoul Walsh suggested him for the lead in The Big Trail (1930), an epic western shot in an early widescreen process called “Grandeur Scope.” it was Ford who vouched for him. Wayne’s early period as a star would be brief, as Fox dropped him after only three leads.

The film is famous (or infamous) for its two spanking scenes, in which mother and daughter are each paddled with coal shovels: the daughter by her suitor, the mother by her estranged husband. The film was also intended as a statement of John Wayne’s right-wing political views.
