  • The Lonely Trail is a 1936 American Western film starring John Wayne and Ann Rutherford.


    This was Duke's last movie for Republic
    Joseph Kane, a former editor for Paramount,
    directed and empathized action over story


    Like most of Duke's early director's,
    he shot his movies in 6 days

    Before you start out in the morning,
    you have to plan what you're going to do...
    so you don't waste anytime


    Ann Rutherford was Duke's love interest
    and served as a pleasant foil to his manliness.


    Ann Rutherford said at The Lawless Nineties opening

    Quote

    The cast is kept so busy, that it can find very little time
    for such luxeries as romance and convention


    Duke was suppoerted by great pros such as
    Cy Kendall and lifelong Pal Yakima Canutt
