Ride Him, Cowboy is a 1932 pre-Code Western film directed by Fred Allen for Warner Bros., starring a 25-year-old John Wayne. Based on the 1923 novel of the same name by Kenneth Perkins, the film is a remake of The Unknown Cavalier, a 1926 silent Western starring Ken Maynard, with much stock footage from the original. The film was released as The Hawk in the U.K. It was the first film to be produced by Leon Schlesinger Productions, which is better known for its animated short film series Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies.
