HIT THE SADDLE (1937)

Cinemavixion Review

In 'Hit the Saddle,' a 1937 Western directed by Mack V. Wright, the narrative centers on the conflict between a greedy rancher, McGowan, and a community striving to protect its wild horses. McGowan's avarice drives him to attempt shutting down a local sanctuary to capture and sell the horses for profit. Simultaneously, the plot weaves in a personal drama involving Tucson, who is endeavoring to save Stony from the manipulative influence of his wife, a saloon girl with an eye for gold. The film, starring Robert Livingston, Ray Corrigan, Max Terhune, and a young Rita Hayworth, offers a classic Western tale of land disputes and personal entanglements against the backdrop of the untamed frontier.
