The western genre existed in moving pictures before Johnon Wayne to make his first appearance on the 1926 screen, but the film West as we know today, owes almost everything Johnon Ford's "Stagecoach". This classic of 1939 not only catapulted Wayne into the Ardwar, but also proved that stories of cowboys and rifles can play for adults as well as for children. Before this, Wayne had water as a player of contracts with the Republic of Pictures, and, at the age of 32, he might not have used the chances of proving that he belonged to Hollywood's A-Spisses, so it was not a hyperbola to say that "Stagecko" was one of the most key and influential films.

Today when we talk about Wayne, or is to be astonished to the Great West that made them with masters like Ford and Howard Hawks, or to complain His ABJECT Cuckoo in avoiding World War II as well as his unintentional racist views. Outside the circles of Cinefil, very little attention is paid to his films before Stagecoach, mainly because most of them are not so great. However, there are precious stones, the most important, the pre-codex of Alfred E. Wayne could handle the various bad bad ones, but he is powerless against Stwick.

From Wayne's "StagecoCoach", the most interesting is easy Raul Walsh's "Great Path", The 70mm EP of 1930, who died at the box office due to difficulties in the exhibition caused by the Great Depression. Her failure was conveyed by Wayne to pictures of poverty, one of which was the republican image of the Oregon trail. Released in early 1936, this programmer, directed by Scott Pembrock, did nothing to raise his Starwood profile in Hollywood. Was it good? It is impossible to say, because the film has been lost by over three quarters of a century. How can Wayne Western disappear?

There are many lost quiet movies, but as soon as you pass in 1934 or the like, the number of truly lost films worn. Well, how could the Republic of West with Wayne and disappear when it was released in a scarce five years before his progress with "Stagecoach?"

In an interview for 2013 with the BBCThe director of the "Lonely Pine" museum, Bob Sigman, has promoted the theory that the "trace of Oregon" is wrong. In other words, there is an imprint there tightened in a movie canister, there is only something like "typhus finds Andy Hardy" curved in the lid instead of his right title. Sigman traveled around the world in search of printing, but has failed to follow it so far.

If anyone ever happens to save the "Oregon Trace" from the "Lost Film" status, it is best not to raise hopes. This was cheaply produced republican paintings west with a duration of 59 minutes. It starred Wayne as a US army officer, who is out to find and kill the man who killed his PA. There are several celebrities in it (especially Ann Ruderford from "Passed with the Wind" And the pioneer stuntman Jakima Kanut), but this puppy was pronounced to earn a quick profit. Quality was secondary care at best.

Miracles can happen, but it's 2025 and these prints are not always kept in the best. If every copy was not burned or sent to Damper, it is likely that the last remaining print of "Oregon Trail" collapsed a long time ago.
