M-G-M's Cimarron (1960) -- the second screen adaptation of Edna Ferber's novel of the same name -- was an epic western telling the history of Oklahoma settlers through the lives of newspaper publisher Yancey "Cimarron" Cravat (Glenn Ford) and his wife, Sabra (Maria Schell).
By the time he scored Cimarron in 1960, Waxman was nearing the conclusion of a brilliant career as one of the undisputedly great composers of Hollywood's Golden Age.
Franz Waxman's stirring title song for Cimarron, which figures prominently through the course of his score, features lyrics by Paul Francis Webster and is sung by the Roger Wagner Chorale.

Cimarron was the first Western to win the Oscar for Best Picture--and, until Dances with Wolves in 1990, the only one.
Cimarron makes the mistake of placing most of the action early in the film, so that everything that follows the spectacular opening land-rush sequence may feel anti-climactic.
Cimarron creaks badly when seen today, but it still outclasses the plodding 1960 remake.

 Movie Reviews
When I was liking the movie, I was creeped out and didn't know what to make of it, when I was not liking it, I was bored and trying to comprehend other parts of it.
The movie was interesting and I cared about the characters, but there were a bunch of times when I just felt like "what is the point of this?", because the movie was trying to convey a message and that scene just didn't fit in with the overall point.
There were some of the elements of cheeze from movies of the first half of the century, but for the most part I could have seen the same things done with modern actors, in a lot worse way.

What's so great about this man? The movie is in love with the guy, but it rarely has anything substantial to back him up.
I realize part of the problem is that I'm seeing this movie from the vantage point of another time and place.
Released in 1931, Cimarron is closer in time to the times this movie depicts than to the present.

 [No title]
Not only is it quite impressive on a wholly technical level, but the artistry and craft prevalent throughout its entire running time is subjected to several scenes of awesomeness not unlike the first time you stumbled onto your Mom’s ‘other’ magazine collection about firemen.
As a whole the movie suffers from a heavy reliance on the main plot of Cravat and doesn’t leave much time for Sabra’s own upheavals throughout Yancey’s personal discretions — in terms of him up and leaving her at the most inopportune times.
Sabra and her spawn are introduced no less than several times and the silent still-like interludes that inform us of what’s occurred during 3 years, 5 years, and well over 10 years serve as a sort of skewed reliance on moving the plot along.

 Cimarron (1960)
But it was an expensive movie to make, and the studio lost a pile of money on it.
Then, when MGM enlisted Anthony Mann to remake Cimarron in 1960, the production was beset with an assortment of problems, including studio interference and a misbegotten romance between its lead performers, Glenn Ford and Maria Schell.
Cimarron follows the plight of Sabra (Schell), a rich girl from the East who journeys to the untamed West beside her dashing husband, Yancey (Ford).

 Cimarron - Music from the Movies
Cimarron was also a product of the last days of the studio system, a confused period for Hollywood, and both film and score underwent drastic re-edits and cuts that left the composer understandably angered.
Cimarron, it should also be noted, is by no means all western sound and fury.
But if you were intrigued by the Cimarron excerpt heard on Rhino’s MGM CD compilation, ‘The Lion’s Roar’, or by the suite on the AEI Epic Motion Pictures LP, or just love the epic, wide-open sound of Hollywood’s unique brand of western Americana, FSM’s Cimarron is a must for your collection.

But he was better known for his hard-driving lifestyle and acerbic eye for truth which he used in the style of first-person reporting that came to be known as "gonzo" in the 1960's, where the usually-anonymous reporter becomes a central character in the story, a conduit of subjectivity.
As I made clear in the introduction to the first Great Movies book, it was not a list of "the" 100 greatest movies, but simply a collection of 100 great movies, unranked, selected because of my love for them, and for their artistry, historical roles, influence, and so on.
