Song of the West is a 1930 American Pre-Code musical Western film produced by Warner Bros., and photographed entirely in Technicolor.
It starred John Boles, Joe E. Brown and Vivienne Segal, and was the first all-color all-talking feature to be filmed entirely outdoors.
Stanton, in a fit of jealousy, leaves the establishment with another woman and tries his luck in California, searching for gold.
Following a number of dismal previews, however, Warner Bros. shortened the film by two reels, removing some of the musical content in the process.
In a June 2011 forum discussion, a small fragment, running about a minute, was claimed to have been discovered in the UK and identified as being from the film.
One short fragment of an original color print was identified in the British Film Institute archives in 2018.
