Inexplicably winning Best Picture, Cimarron is one of three Westerns (Dances With Wolves and Unforgiven are the other) to win the Oscar. The Academy also honored the screnplay and set decoration, and nominated actors Richard Dix and Irene Dunne....read the complete Cimarron (1931) review at EmanuelLevy.com (Emanuel Levy)

I saw this film a few years back. It amazed me. Way ahead of its time. Irene Dunne is phenominal and a perfect counterpoint to her Yancy. I have not seen the film since. I was compelled to order the original DVD today after watching the 1960 remake ...

Horizont-Stretching etertaiment from the Author of GIANT (1956) Edna Ferber (1887-1968) .Spaces were neither wide nor or open in most early Sound Western . Not so in CIMARRON , It starts with one of the most renowed giddy-ups in Cinema history : a ...

One of the best films ever made in America..a milestone of the transition from silent films to talkies. ...

This is a sprawling epic version of Edna Ferber's novel. It starts with the original Oklahoma Cimmaron land rush (1889) and ends in during the height of the oil rush (1930).
This is a great movie about the a part of US history that most people have ...

"Cimarron" (1931) won three Oscar & had four nominations more, IMHO deservedly. Even if we regard it with modern eyes and some characters seem cartoonish as Isaiah's presentation, nevertheless the boy is endowed with the same pioneer spirit as Yancey ...
by Annie Van Auken on December 07, 2007
CIMARRON is a film that all classic cinema fans should see at least once. The opening sequence of the 1889 Oklahoma Territory Land Rush is still quite remarkable, and the early struggles of the townspeople of Osage well-rendered. This feels and looks ...
