The Virginian

The Virginian is a 1929 Western film based on the eponymous 1902 novel by Owen Wister, previously adapted for stage and silent films. It was the first "all talking" film for Gary Cooper, who would remain associated with Westerns. The film included lines which would become cliches, often misquoted, including "If you wanna call me that, smile" and "This country isn't big enough for the both of us" (spoken by the villain).

*The repeated line in the early Western depicted in A Brief History of Motion Pictures is "This town ain't big enough for the two of us," a popular paraphrasing of The Virginian line.
