The Telegraph Trail Ratings & Reviews
- valperryJune 2, 2025Love the film 🎥 🎞 I think it is one of his best early films anyway John Wayne becomes one of the greatest actors on screen. ♥️🎬📽🐎
- Mister ArnJune 1, 2025“The Telegraph Trail” is an early John Wayne B-Western with a paper-thin plot. It’s the standard Cowboys vs. Indians setup, with a scheming villain trying to stop the telegraph. Formulaic and dated, this one’s strictly for Wayne completists.
