The Virginian Overview:
The Virginian (1929) was a Western - Film Adaptation Film directed by Victor Fleming and produced by Louis D. Lighton and B.P. Schulberg.
SYNOPSIS
Owen Wister's novel was one of the best-known and best-loved Western tales of its day: it was produced twice for the silent screen before this first talking version; it made a star of future silent Western hero William S. Hart in its stage incarnation; and it received a color treatment in the '40s and a long-running TV series adaptation in the '60s. Cooper's first talking role set his heroic image in the public mind as the ranch hand who reluctantly helps lynch his one-time rival in love. On his wedding day, he redeems himself in the eyes of his fiancee when he guns down the man who led his friend to crime.
