Cimarron (1960)
7/10
One man's hunger for adventure needed to be fed at the cost of his own family
9 February 2023
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.
