Thursday 5/22, 6:30pm at @themodernfw: @cowtownmovieclassics is partnering with @johnwayneofficial for a very special screening of THE BIG TRAIL (1930), the western epic that introduced Marion Robert Morrison to the world as a movie star: John Wayne. Photographed in an early widescreen format using 70mm film, THE BIG TRAIL paints a larger-than-life portrait of western expansion, decades before Cinemascope and other similar formats became the norm. In honor of the film’s 95th anniversary the Duke’s son, veteran actor PATRICK WAYNE (Young Guns, Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger, The Searchers), will be in attendance, courtesy of @johnwaynecancerfoundation. Tickets for this special screening are $5 (FREE for Modern members) and are available at the museum’s admission desk or to buy at TheModern.org. @johnwayneofficial #johnwayne #theduke #cowboylife #cowboyculture #johnford #classicfilm #tcm #oldhollywood #vintagehollywood #themodernartmuseumoffortworth #fortworth #fortworthfilm #dfwfilm #cowtownmovieclassics #western #patrickwayne #johnwayneanamericanexperience #johnwayneae
