An elegant example of super film making and a big money picture. This is a spectacular western away from all others. It holds action, sentiment, sympathy, thrills and comedy - and 100% clean. Radio Pictures has a corker in Cimarron.
We can't describe the grandeur and the punch and the appeal of Cimarron. This is one picture you cannot afford to miss. It is 1931's first great contribution to the screen. We loved every minute of it!
It gives a wonderfully impressive idea of the early days in the territory, from the time the hordes of persons on horseback, in wagons and on foot make the dash to lay out their claims on the signal of a pistol shot, to the gradual improvements that come to Osage as years go by.
Dunne is superb and Cimarron was considered until the late 1940s the finest Western ever made.
One of Edna Ferber's heartfelt, numbskull treks through the hardships and glories of the American heritage.
Despite its flashy production design and big budget, it's shallow and unsatisfying and primarily interesting for what it says about the views of society when it was made.
