The Virginian is a 1929 western movie based upon the Owen Wister novel, starring Gary Cooper as the Virginian and Walter Huston as the villainous Trampas. The early sound film was directed by Victor Fleming, who later directed Gone with the Wind and The Wizard of Oz. (Source: The Internet Movie Database.)
In addition to the novel, several movie versions were produced over the decades, and a long-running television series as well, but the 1929 version remains by far the most highly regarded.
