Vilma BankyRonald 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 HighJesse JamesThe GunfighterThe Sun Also RisesState FairCarousel), 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)
