About The Cowboy Quarterback
Football scout for the Chicago Packers Rusty Walker signs Harry Lynn, a legendary broken-field runner. Harry won't leave his home town without his girlfriend Maizie Williams. He gets tangled up with gamblers and Rusty's girl Evelyn Corey makes a play for him.
Directed by Noel M. Smith, The Cowboy Quarterback leans on a strong ensemble — Bert Wheeler, Marie Wilson, Gloria Dickson — 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 comedy titles of 1939.
