Man in the Saddle is a 1951 American Western film directed by Andre DeToth starring Randolph Scott. The screenplay is based on the 1938 novel of the same name by Ernest Haycox.[2]
Man in the Saddle was the first of the many lucrative collaborations between its star Randolph Scott and producer Harry Joe Brown.[3]
The film's plot centers on a farmer (Scott) who turns to violence when a powerful and ruthless land baron (Knox) tries to take over his land. In the process he is caught between two women, the ambitious Laurie (Leslie) and the down-to-earth Nan (Drew). A high point in the film is a fierce fistfight between Scott and John Russell.[4]
