Cimarron is an epic western film that won best picture. This film is about a man and his wife over a 40 year period or so. They abandon their home and move out west to Oklahoma which at the time was an unorganized territory. They live there and watch it become a state and have a bunch of stuff happen until the film ends in 1929. Over the course of the film, the husband leaves his family for many years at a time several times.

At the time, this film was very expensive to make costing RKO Pictures over $1.5 million. This investment didn't really pay off as people were too poor due to the Depression. Critically, this film did very well and was nominated for a then-record six Academy Awards winning three.

Overall, I thought this was a decent film but certainly not one of my favorites. The film is remembered today for being rather racist, but given the age of the film that is somewhat understandable. This certainly isn't the worst best picture winner, but it's far from the best.

73/100
