Chad Hanna is a 1940 Technicolor film directed by Henry King, and was adapted from a bestseller of sorts that was published that same year. The novel was written by Walter Dumaux Edmonds (after it had first been published in serial form in the Saturday Evening Post under the title "Red Wheels Rolling".) It stars Henry Fonda and Dorothy Lamour.[2]

In the 1840s Chad Hanna (Henry Fonda), a New York country boy working along the canal in Canastota, New York, joins a travelling Huguenine circus. He falls in love with beautiful bareback rider Albany Yates (Dorothy Lamour), but she spurns him. Chad Hanna then finds himself attracted to another runaway, country girl Caroline Tridd Hanna (Linda Darnell). Though everybody assumes that the boy is slow on the uptake, Chad Hanna manages to save the circus from financial ruin.[3]
