Cimarron (1931) - 3 Stars

One Sentence Plot Summary: Man and Wife move to boom town of Osage Oklahoma in the 1880s and try to help turn it into a civilized city.


Starring: Richard Dix, Irene Dunne

Best of:
Epic and elaborate "land rush" scene starts the movie with a few thousand horses...computer generated horses not yet invented.

Worst of: Ridiculously stereotyped black servant boy added for comic relief.

I would have liked it better if: It didn't take a rather odd twist in the end. Oh yeah, and less unbelievable racism.
