Sugarfoot is a 1951 American Western film directed by Edwin L. Marin and starring Randolph Scott.
Aside from its title, the film is completely unrelated to the 1957 television series of the same name, which was inspired by Michael Curtiz's The Boy from Oklahoma (1954), starring Will Rogers Jr. However, because of the lingering popularity of the television show, Warner Bros. temporarily changed the film's title to A Swirl of Glory when it was first syndicated to television in 1962.
Jackson Redan, a Confederate States Army veteran of the American Civil War, attempts to rebuild his life by moving to Arizona Territory. His politeness and courtly Southern gentleman demeanor cause the residents of Prescott 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, also lives in Prescott and pays unwanted attention to Reva. Redan rescues her, but later treats her coldly. Wormser entrusts Redan with $4,000, which Stint steals, but Wormser forgives Redan. On business for Wormser, Redan makes a favorable deal that earns him the enmity of Wormser's rival, Asa Goodhue. Redan reclaims the stolen money from Stint but is shot in the process. Reva nurses him during his recovery, which thaws his attitude toward her. Stint and Goodhue continue to cheat the townspeople, so Redan resolves to end their villainy.
In a contemporary review for The New York Times, critic Thomas M. Pryor wrote: "'Sugarfoot' is the kind of Western that holds no÷ surprises. In fact, it holds no entertainment, despite the ammunition expended and the exciting ÷complexion of the countryside in Technicolor."
