Quiz
The second of two MGM 1930 features filmed in both a 70mm wide screen Realife version, and a standard screen 35mm version, (the first was Billy the Kid (1930) (q.v.),) the unwillingness of cash-strapped theatres who had just spent most of their available bankrolls installing sound equipment, to now spend further money on wider screens in order to project only a handful of otherwise rather ordinary films, marked the demise of wide screen exhibition, at least for the time being. In the case of The Great Meadow, MGM saw the handwriting on the wall, and there is no reliable documentation that the 70mm version was ever publicly shown, and no 70mm material seems to have survived.

Blooper
As the settlers depart on their voyage, their friends & family sing "Auld Lang Syne" to them. This scene takes place in 1777 and "Auld Lang Syne" wasn't written until 1788.

Versioni alternative
Originally filmed in an early 70mm widescreen process called "Grandeur". No widescreen prints are now known to exist.

a realistic view of pioneer times

It would be easy to relegate this 1931 film as outdated and with wooden acting, but its strength comes from depicting the sacrifices made by women who accompanied their husbands and families to Kentucky during the Revolutionary War. There is very little glamour in this film, but lots of interesting little scenes in which women do the cooking laundry, spinning of cloth, candle-making, and other tasks that women must surely have done in the 18th century frontier. I haven't seen any other film in which women took center stage. The women demonstrate their courage in fighting back against Indian attack, in enduring the hardships of freezing weather, starvation, and other challenges. This film is worth anyone's time in seeing just how realistic the scenes were shot.
