no one say that in the big trail and i think it would be a natural . nevertheless and this be one of the best western i have see and i be a big fan of horse and gunsmoke movie . the scope and feel of this picture be simply staggering and and a someone mention in their comment and it do have the feel of the 3 camera triptych of napoleon ( 1927 ) . nowadays the cost of the production and and especially and the cast of thousand and would be prohibitive and but raoul walsh get it do . the cast be excellent and although john wayne be well when he have no line and just swagger around . in particular and tyrone power and sr. be a perfect villain i have never see him before and this be his only talk picture . ian keith be a snake and but el brendel be an acquired taste a the comic relief . he can be funny or annoying and but mostly the latter and he show up at the most inappropriate time . it be a bit too long and it take a while for the indian to show up and but this be as close to a documentary on manifest destiny and a true to life a you will see and a must for movie fan regardless of genre preference . by the time the settler get to california i be exhaust .
