Scattergood Baines is a 1941 American comedy drama film directed by Christy Cabanne and starring Guy Kibbee, Carol Hughes and John Archer.[1] It is based on a novel by Clarence Budington Kelland. The character of Scattergood was also popular during the days of live radio.[2] Five other Scattergood Baines films, all starring Guy Kibbee, were subsequently made including Scattergood Pulls the Strings and Scattergood Meets Broadway which were released later the same year.
Scattergood Baines chooses the small New England town of Cold River to settle down in. Twenty years later, he has outmaneuvered the townspeople both when it comes to large matters (ownership of the local railroad) and small (the pretty new schoolteacher's hair).
The homespun but canny Baines was originally created by popular writer Clarence Budington Kelland in stories for The Saturday Evening Post, and a radio version ran from 1938 through 1950.
