Sin Town is a 1942 American Western film directed by Ray Enright and starring Constance Bennett, Broderick Crawford and Patric Knowles. It is set during the Texas Oil Boom of the early 20th century. The trio of director Enright, Crawford and Gwynne collaborated on another film the same year, Men of Texas, which also revolves, to some extent, around the newspaper industry.
