Gary Cooper stars as the Virginian in the first sound film adapatation of Owen Wister's beloved novel of the Old West. Out in the wilds of Wyoming, the Virginian is a rancher who falls for Molly Wood (Mary Brian), a schoolteacher from New England. She returns his affections until the Virginian oversees a hanging. Wood despises the violence of the wild West, and the Virginian must prove his valor to regain her affections. THE VIRGINIAN stands among the most-read Westerns in history, and director Victor Fleming's rendition stands up to the challenge of successfully putting it on film. (official distributor synopsis)
