Cimarron	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Cimarron is a 1931 film directed by Wesley Ruggles, starring Richard Dix and Irene Dunne.Dix and Dunne are the ridiculously-named Yancey and Sabra Cravat, who along with their even more ridiculously named son Cimarron enter Oklahoma in 1889 with the Oklahoma Land Rush. (This topic was also dramatized in the Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman vehicle Far and Away.) Yancey helps found the town of Osage, Oklahoma, and also starts a town newspaper. Actually he becomes a jack of all trades—holding religious services in the town, serving as an unofficial lawman (complete with shootouts with ruffians), and also serving as an attorney. The Cravats prosper as the town thrives, but Yancey gets a yearning to pull up sticks and leaves for the second land rush in 1893, with the opening of the Oklahoma Panhandle (aka the "Cimarron Strip"). He does not make contact with his family for five years. He makes it back to Osage after fighting in the Spanish-American War, but his wanderlust isn't quenched.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Cimarron received seven Academy Award nominations and won three, including Best Picture. It routinely appears on short lists of the worst Best Picture winners of all time. Users at the Internet Movie Database rank it as the absolute worst Best Picture winner. Among films made in that time period that weren't even nominated are the Bela Lugosi Dracula, Little Caesar, The Public Enemy (1931), and Charlie Chaplin's masterpiece City Lights. It was, however, the first Western to win Best Picture, and the last until Dances with Wolves fifty-nine years later.A remake was produced in 1960, directed by Anthony Mann and starring Glenn Ford, Maria Schell, and a thousand character actors. This version failed with both critics and audiences, and is generally considered inferior to the original.

As revealed at her trial, she only entered prostitution after she was orphaned as a teenager and then taken advantage of by a man. She tried to go straight by claiming a plot of land in the Oklahoma Land Rush (in fact, the plot of land Yancey wanted), but meddlesome blue-noses forced her off.

He out-hams the opposing counsel, opening with a drawn-out joke about how his opponent is so hammy, he is the only man who can "strut while sitting."

Cimarron / int_89434320	comment	Protagonist-Centered Morality: Yancey's habit of abandoning his family for years on end isn't exactly portrayed favorably, as Sabra is shown to be broken-hearted about it, but it is portrayed as being a sort of romantic wanderlust. After Yancey disappears for five years without even sending a letter, Sabra falls into his arms on his return. When he disappears again for at least twelve years, again without even sending a letter, she embraces him as she finds him dying.

And The Kid is a bandit and bank robber, but the shootout that leads to his death doesn't have any ultimate goal behind it. The Kid and his gang just storm into town one day, shooting the place up, until Yancey finally shoots him.

Cimarron / int_ccc0d531	comment	Settling the Frontier: Oklahoma was the last "frontier" region. The United States government, having stolen all the rest of America from the Indians and crammed them into barren flatlands known as the Indian Territory, decided in the latter 19th century to steal that from them too. Hence the settlement of Indian Territory and its admission to the Union as Oklahoma.
