The 1960 remake of Cimarron manages a slight improvement on the worst Best Picture (1931) in Academy Award history. Not that Edna Ferber's novel of pioneer Oklahoma was ever a movie natural. There's a plethora of themes--several species of prejudice, capitalism vs. charity, sons unhappily following in fathers' footsteps, and the irreconcilable tensions between a stability-craving wife and her footloose hero-husband--but the action is front-loaded and the husband (Glenn Ford) is offscreen for years at a time. Anthony Mann gets solo directorial credit, yet the movie seems more typical of his replacement, Charles Walters, a maker of pastel musicals. Most of the large cast comes and goes without establishing identities; Maria Schell's Sabra Cravat is tiresome as both ditz and pill. Photographed in CinemaScope and Metrocolor by Robert L. Surtees, the Oklahoma land rush is properly spectacular--though less impressive than John Ford's in Three Bad Men. --Richard T. Jameson

Some great moments punctuate this movie but it also has many flaws. The land rush scenes were just spectacular, and used literally thousands of extras, who seem to stretch to the horizon in one shot just before the starting guns go off. The wagons race across the landscape, many careening and flipping over in spectacular fashion, and reminding me of nothing so much as the famed chariot race in Ben Hur.
But the movie fails to develop many of the characters, who just come and go. And ... Read More

CIMARRON(1960) Starring Glenn Ford, Maria Schell, Anne Baxter, Constance McCambridge and Henry Morgan. A beautiful, technicolor, big screen gem.
Not the success that its 1931 predecessor was, and certainly not Mann's best western, it still remains my personal favorite of the two versions.
For one, Glenn Ford is a more likable leading man. Maria Schell is outstanding in this as Fords longsuffering wife. Her practicality constantly clashing with Fords crusading idealism ... Read More

The last and least of Anthony Mann's Westerns, 1960's Cimarron was originally intended by MGM as a Rock Hudson vehicle after the success of Giant. It's at once a lavish film and an undernourished one, not least because of the production problems that saw Mann's run of bad luck with epics repeat itself: after being fired from Spartacus at the start of shooting by Stanley Kubrick, on Cimarron he was replaced towards the end of shooting by an uncredited Charles Walters. It's all to easy to spot the ... Read More

I know that this is one of the most under-rated westerns, but it also has its die-hard fans like myself who consider it a long-lost classic. I'm so happy it's finally on DVD. I think it's one of Anthony Mann's greatest films, much more sweeping and visually creative than the original, and I've always been moved by Maria Schriver's performance, and of course Glenn Ford who is always great. I think it is a particularly deep western- complex and interesting even when it fails at times... I think its epic ... Read More
