  • Man in the Saddle is a 1951 Western film directed by
    Andre DeToth starring Randolph Scott.
    The screenplay is based on the novel of the same name by Ernest Haycox


    Man in the Saddle was the first of the many lucrative collaborations
    between its star Randolph Scott and producer Harry Joe Brown.



    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). The climax of the film
    is a fierce fistfight between Scott and John Russell.
