The Squaw Man is a 1918 American silent Western film directed by Cecil B. DeMille.[1] It is a remake of DeMille's 1914 film of the same name, which is based upon a 1905 play by Edwin Milton Royle. The film was reportedly[2] made as an experiment to prove DeMille's theory that a good film is based on a good story. It cost $40,000 to make and grossed $350,000.[2] It would be remade again by DeMille in 1931.
