Synopsis

Adapted from Edna Ferber's sweeping novel, the life of an American family, from the 1890s through the 1920s, who move to Oklahoma territory. The epic western chronicles the founding of the Oklahoma town of Osage, and the lives of the homesteaders who pioneered its development from the wild land rush of the 1880s (April 22, 1989) into a respectable town 40 years later. Glenn Ford plays Yancey Cravat whose influence as a gunfighter as well as a newspaperman helps civilize the frontier. Remake of the 1931 film, directed by Wesley Ruggles and starring Richard Dix as Yancey Cravat and Irene Dunne as Sabra Cravat.

Critics' reviews

"'Cimarron' is magnificent in scope, powerful in treatment, admirable in acting. But it is even more than all this. It is one of few talking picture productions which inspires rather than awes."

Irene Thirer: New York Daily News
"One of Edna Ferber's heartfelt, numbskull treks through the hardships and glories of the American heritage."

Pauline Kael: The New Yorker
"This is a spectacular western away from all others. It holds action, sentiment, sympathy, thrills and comedy -- and 100% clean"

Variety Staff: Variety
"Critically lauded at the time of its release, 'Cimarron' was beloved by most who saw it. Eight decades later, it is frequently cited on lists of the most undeserving Academy Award winners. (...) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"

James Berardinelli: ReelViews
"It holds up surprisingly well today."
