Sundown is a 1924 American silent Western film directed by Laurence Trimble and Harry O. Hoyt, produced and distributed by First National Pictures, and starring Bessie Love. Frances Marion, Marion Fairfax, and Kenneth B. Clarke wrote the screenplay based on an original screen story by Earl Hudson. This film was the only production cinematographer David Thompson ever worked on. This film is presumed lost.[2][3]
It was primarily filmed on location in Texas, on a plateau 75 miles (121 km) outside of El Paso.[4]
In the American West, tensions between ranchers and homesteaders rise as homesteads take over land that ranchers need for their cattle. John Brent (Stewart) and his son Hugh (Bosworth) decide to drive their cattle to Mexico and settle there. Their cattle stampede, destroying the home of the Crawleys. Young Ellen Crawley (Love) convinces the Brents to let her family accompany them to Mexico. Hugh and Ellen fall in love.[1][5]
The film was universally well-reviewed.[5][6][7][8][9]
