What happens

The Texans is a 1938 American Western film directed by James P. Hogan and starring Joan Bennett and Randolph Scott. The screenplay was written by Bertram Millhauser, Paul Sloane and William Wister Haines and is based on the novel North of 36 by Emerson Hough. Most of the exterior scenes were filmed about 30 miles (48 km) east of Cotulla, Texas, on the 35,000-acre (140 km2) La Mota Ranch. Other scenes were filmed near Laredo, Texas. 2500 Texas Longhorns were used for the herd. Interior scenes were recorded at Paramount Studios in Hollywood. The Texans premiered at San Antonio's Majestic Theater on July 16, 1938. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
