About The Hoosier Schoolmaster
Right after the Civil War, an ex-Union soldier sets out to become a schoolmaster in his small town, even though many locals still harbor a resentment against "Yankees". He goes up against the town bully, who both want the same girl, and his troubles multiply when a vicious band of nightriders set out to drive him out of town.
Directed by Lewis D. Collins, The Hoosier Schoolmaster leans on a strong ensemble — Norman Foster, Charlotte Henry, Dorothy Libaire — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1935.
