The Great Meadow is a 1931 American Pre-Code Western film, produced and distributed by MGM with direction by Charles Brabin. The film starred Eleanor Boardman and Johnny Mack Brown. It is based on the novel The Great Meadow by Elizabeth Madox Roberts, which is similar in theme to Drums Along the Mohawk by Walter D. Edmonds, which was later made into the 1939 film of the same name directed by John Ford. MGM filmed The Great Meadow in a widescreen format called "Realife". However, it is unclear whether it was released in that widescreen process due to declining interest of the movie-going public.
