Vilma Banky, Ronald Colman, and a
very young Gary Cooper (in his first credited role), star in
this epic drama about the pioneer settlers who dreamed of irrigating
California's parched Imperial Valley in the early 20th century. The story
centers on a rivalry for the affections of Barbara Worth (Banky), adopted
daughter of a powerful rancher. A local cowboy (Cooper) finds himself competing
with a newly arrived engineer (Colman), who has come to the rural valley to
work on plans to harness the Colorado River for irrigation. Will the local
ranch-hand prevail over the city slicker engineer? Can citizens of the parched
region prevail over nature and transform their lands into an agricultural
paradise? Will rumors of shortcuts taken in constructing a massive dam lead to
disaster? Filmed on location in Nevada's Black Rock desert, and directed by
Hollywood legend Henry King (Twelve O’Clock High, Jesse
James, The Gunfighter, The Sun Also Rises, State
Fair, Carousel), The Winning of Barbara Worth weaves
a vivid tale of romance and conflict against a backdrop of vast open spaces and
wild nature. Unavailable for many years, this vivid Western tale is now taking
its place among the major films of the silent era. (USA, 1926, 89 min.,
b/w with tinting | Dir. Henry King)
