Sand! is a 1920 American silent Western film directed by Lambert Hillyer and written by Lambert Hillyer based upon the Russell A. Boggs short story "Dan Kurrieās Inning."[1] The film stars William S.

Copies of the film are in the Library of Congress and George Eastman House Motion Picture Collection.[1]
The film received a positive review in The Film Daily, stating that it as a whole was a "Virile western subject that has some very pleasing bits; will sure to please Bill Hart fans".[4]
Burns Mantle, writing for Photoplay Magazine, gave it a mixed review, stating that "A better Western than 'Human Stuff' is William S. Hart's 'Sand,' but this, too, is below the Hart standard - the standard, at least, established by 'The Toll-Gate.'"[5]
Moving Picture World reported that president Woodrow Wilson had seen the film and had enjoyed it.[6]
