On a Scale of 1 to 10: 3
“Cimarron,” which means wild or unruly, begins in the late 1880s, spanning 40 years in the lives of an American frontier family. Yancey Cravat (Richard Dix), newspaper editor and born wanderer, thrills at the prospect of building a new life from scratch. He uproots his wife, Sabra (Irene Dunne), and moves to Osage, Oklahoma, a dangerous new settlement in the “southwest.” Yancey is a multi-faceted hero: gun-fighter, defender of truth, etc., but his wanderlust leads him away for years at a time, leaving his wife to attend to the children and the newspaper alone.
Director: Wesley Ruggles. Starring Richard Dix, Irene Dunne, Estelle Taylor. Genre: Western/Drama. Runtime: 131 min. B&W. (No MPAA rating but definitely equivalent to PG)
