The Squaw Man (known as The White Man in the UK) is a 1914 silent western drama motion picture starring Dustin Farnum.
Directed by Oscar Apfel and Cecil B. DeMille and produced by DeMille and Jesse L. Lasky, the screenplay was adapted by DeMille and Apfel from the 1905 stage play, The Squaw Man, written by Edwin Milton Royle.
This first screen version of the story was the legendary DeMille’s first movie assignment. It also holds the distinction of being the first feature-length movie filmed specifically in Hollywood (although not the first to be made in the Los Angeles area, and film historians agree that shorts had previously been filmed in Hollywood).
The Squaw Man went on to become the only movie successfully filmed three times by the same director/producer, DeMille. He did a silent remake in 1918, and a talkie version in 1931.
