关于此电影

This Academy Award-winning adaptation of Edna Ferber's novel traces the lives of two people who are in love with each other--but in love with life even more--as they struggle to bring civilization to the Western frontier in Cimarron! 1898. The Oklahoma Land Rush. As thousands of would-be settlers race across a barren desert to be the first to stake their claim to a plot of land, Yancey Cravat (Richard Dix) is cheated out of his property by Dixie Lee (Estelle Taylor). Without the farm they had hoped to start, Yancey and his wife, Sabra (Irene Dunne--I Remember Mama, The Awful Truth, Love Affair), take over the local newspaper after the editor is assassinated. But as the newspaper helps bring order to a lawless land, Yancey feels the wanderlust to find new frontiers and new adventures, and Sabra stays to build a publishing empire.

评分和评价

watch out! this movie is filled with racial stereotypes and white savior. i respect the production value of the movie --- lots of huge scenes with loads of extras. few thoughts: - crazy what qualifies as "ceiling fan" back in those days - just recently read the killers of the flower moon book by david gran. this movie makes it sound that people were fully aware of the abusive nature of the guardianship over indigenous people, but nothing was done about it.
