met Gary Cooper, Walter Brennan en Doris Davenport

De rondtrekkende Cole Hardin wordt beschuldigd van het in het bezit hebben van een gestolen paard, die eigendom blijkt te zijn van "Judge" Roy Bean"s assistent Chickenfoot. De aantrekkelijke boerendochter Jane Ellen Mathews verstoort Bean"s rechtszitting. Bean veroordeelt desondanks Cole tot de doodstraf. Doordat Cole zich voordoet als vriend van de beroemde actrice Lily Langtree (wie Roy Bean adoreert), weet hij aan de dood te ontsnappen en houdt hij zich vervolgens schuil op het platteland bij de boerenfamilie Mathews. Cole raakt ongewild betrokken bij de strijd tussen de veeboeren, die gesteund worden door Roy Bean, en de agrariërs onder leiding van Caliphet Mathews.

Synopsis.....: Having created an instant classic the previous year with their superlative production of Wuthering Heights, producer Samuel Goldwyn, director William Wyler, and cinematographer Gregg Toland reunited for this classic Western from 1940, which earned Walter Brennan his record-setting third Academy Award. Gary Cooper reportedly hesitated to take his role, knowing that Brennan would likely steal the show with his splendid portrayal of "hanging" lawman Judge Roy Bean, but Wyler persisted and Cooper signed on as the drifter who faces Judge Bean under the false accusation of stealing a horse. Cooper smooth-talks his way out of his hanging by claiming to be a close friend of stage star Lily Langtry, with whom the judge is unabashedly smitten, but tensions rise when Cooper comes to the defense of a group of struggling homesteaders that Brennan is trying to drive away. This leads, of course, to a classic showdown in true Western tradition, and under Wyler"s able direction The Westerner takes its place among the finest examples of the genre. And while Brennan does indeed steal the show, Cooper needn"t have worried--he"s every bit the hero in a battle with one of the silver screen"s most memorable villains.
