Product Description

High, Wide And Handsome (1937)

Director:

Rouben Mamoulian

Writers:

Oscar Hammerstein II, George O'Neil

Stars:

Irene Dunne, Randolph Scott, Dorothy Lamour

High, Wide and Handsome almost defies classification: Perhaps it's best referred to as a historical musical western comedy melodrama. Irene Dunne plays an itinerant circus performer who marries oilman Randolph Scott. The couple heads to Titusville, Pennsylvania in 1859, where Scott is among the lucky prospectors who strikes oil. With no train service to the refineries, the townsfolk are obliged to build a pipeline, which is accomplished to the accompaniment of several rousing musical numbers by Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein. The villainous element is represented by Alan Hale, who does his best to block the project to serve his own evil ends. Dunne's old circus friends come to the rescue with a herd of trained elephants! High Wide and Handsome confused too many filmgoers to make money in 1937; today it's regarded in some circles as a classic.

Earlier and a different Randolph Scott movie

Posted by Brian Tidball on Oct 16th 2025

With 63 Randolph Scott movies this was a different one. Not Western or War but a movie that has a great story and the kids in the cast are the stars and Scott is along for the ride. Surprisingly, enjoyable film. Glad I added it to my collection
