Sugarfoot is a 1951 AmericanWestern film directed byEdwin L. Marin and starringRandolph Scott.
Aside from the title, the film has nothing to do with the 1957television series of the same name, which was inspired byMichael Curtiz'sThe Boy from Oklahoma (1954) starringWill Rogers Jr. However, because of the lingering popularity of the TV show, Warner Brothers temporarily changed this film's title toA Swirl of Glory when it was first syndicated to television in 1962.[2] More recent appearances of the film though, particularly online, indicate that the original title has since been restored to the movie's opening credits.
Jackson Redan, aConfederate States Army veteran of theAmerican Civil War, attempts to rebuild his life by moving toArizona Territory. His politeness and courtly Southern gentleman demeanor cause the residents ofPrescott to name him Sugarfoot. Among his new acquaintances are merchant Don Miguel Wormser and saloon singer Reva Cairn. An enemy from Redan's past, Jacob Stint, has also taken up residence in Prescott and pays unwanted attention to Reva. Redan rescues her, but afterwards treats her coldly. Wormser entrusts Redan with four thousand dollars, which Stint steals, but Wormser forgives Redan. On business for Wormser, Redan makes a favorable deal, which earns him the enmity of Wormser's rival, Asa Goodhue. Redan reclaims the stolen four thousand dollars from Stint, but is shot in the process. Reva nurses him during his recovery, which thaws his attitude towards her. Stint and Goodhue continue to cheat the townspeople, so Redan puts aside his courtliness to end their villainy.
