Description
A vintage movie poster reprint of ''Cimarron'', a 1960 American western film directed by Anthony Mann and starring Glenn Ford and Maria Schell. The film is a remake of the 1931 film of the same name, which was based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Edna Ferber. While the 1931 version was a critical and commercial success, the 1960 remake received mixed reviews and did not achieve the same level of acclaim.
The story of "Cimarron" is set during the late 19th and early 20th centuries and follows the lives of a family, the Cravats, as they settle in the Oklahoma Territory during the land rush of 1889. Yancey Cravat (played by Glenn Ford) is a lawyer, newspaper editor, and adventurer who leads his family in staking a claim in the newly opened land.
The film explores the challenges and adventures faced by the Cravats as they establish their presence in the untamed territory. Yancey's wife, Sabra (played by Maria Schell), is a strong-willed and independent woman who becomes a key figure in the community and carries on Yancey's legacy when he embarks on various journeys and adventures.
While "Cimarron" attempts to capture the spirit of the American West and the struggles of its pioneers, it received criticism for its portrayal of Native American characters and its treatment of race. The film's handling of racial issues was considered dated and insensitive by contemporary standards.
Glenn Ford delivers a solid performance as Yancey Cravat, portraying the character's charisma and wanderlust. Maria Schell also gives a noteworthy performance as Sabra Cravat, capturing her evolution from a young bride to a strong and influential woman in the growing town of Osage.
Despite the mixed reviews, "Cimarron" received several Academy Award nominations, including Best Actress for Maria Schell. The film remains an example of Hollywood's fascination with western narratives and its efforts to adapt classic stories for new generations.
In summary, "Cimarron" is a remake of the 1931 film and is based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Edna Ferber. It attempts to depict the challenges and adventures of pioneers in the Oklahoma Territory during the late 19th and early 20th centuries but received criticism for its handling of racial issues. While it may not have achieved the same level of acclaim as its predecessor, it remains a part of Hollywood's exploration of the western genre.
