Glenn Ford who plays the leading man and adventurer Yancey 'Cimarron' Cravat, was perfectly cast for this western film. It was a time when the wild west was just winding down, when farmers were needed to feed the nation, and when alcohol, gambling, and bar room brawls were common place.

Back when the Oklahoma Land Rush on 22 April 1889 occurred a wild adventurer named Yancey 'Cimarron' Cravat participated in the claim for land and won him and his wife a nice piece of property. Not to be satisfied with being just a farmer Yancey was to become a newspaperman after his friend tragically dies, a lawyer, and just about everything else including a politician as Governor of the new state, Cravat soon becomes a leading citizen of the boom town of Osage.

Such is the life of a restless man who leaves behind more than one broken heart. I give this western adventure a respectable 7 out of 10 IMDb rating.

This epic film is perfectly acceptable, but I don't think of it as a western. True, a few cowboys are involved early, along with bounties, and the mistreatment of Native Americans. I think Edna Ferber was writing a period piece, from not too distant in her own past. There was just as much tension in the plot from class warfare and social climbing as there was from typical western themes. Edna Ferber seemed to focus more on character than on plot developments (which frequently tended toward melodrama), but she was writing a novel and not a treatment for a screenplay. I thoroughly enjoyed the film for what it was, not for what it should have been.

For all Glenn Ford Fans, this is a must see, his great horsemanship is legendary, playing a man living by his own code of ethics in a day when greed over land, oil, and money transformed the American West into a industrialized and mechanized part of this country. This is what killed the cowboy, the Indian, and the farmer towards the end of the 19th century. Glen Ford should have got the Oscar for his performance, as well as an Oscar for Maria Schell who played his wife. The portrayal of the Oklahoma Indians is subdued at best, every time it surfaced in the film it was pushed to the side and made sublime, like we should already know their plight...however the leading character Yancy, was a champion for their causes, education, land struggles, and civil rights...the screenplay just leaves that part hanging and sporadically tosses in small talk concerning the Indians leaving any understanding up to the viewers own research.... Being a movie over 90 minutes I understand why this was not covered, it would take a whole other film to cover it, and another time... another time

This is a remake of the 1931 movie that won best picture and i haven't seen that one so i can't tell if this one is better or not. This one was directed by Anthony Mann and this is sort of an epic movie and the rest of the movies he directed were epics. Before this Mann had directed several great westerns with James Stewart and Gary Cooper and this one can't compare with those, with the exception of a few like Thunder Bay. The movie starts in 1889 with Glenn Ford just married to Maria Schell and they are moving to Oklahoma for the land rush. Ford doesn't get the land he wants so he decides to run a newspaper instead. They have two kids and the movie shows them grow up and Ford winds up getting a change at becoming Governor. It's a pretty good western that doesn't seem to be that well known.
