Cimarron (1931): 4th Oscar Winner for Best Picture

Cimarron (1931)

Following All Quiet On The Western Front was Cimarron. This was pretty average. It was the first western style film, and was great to watch, but was nothing spectacular to me. One topic this film touched on was how women cope with their man away for work. I think this was very much a film for its time. If you feel that an average western explaining life for women and men when they are away from each other in the 1930s is your film, feel free to watch it.

Why did it win Best Picture? At a guess, most likely to give Western style films a go in the spotlight and the role of women when men are away on work across distances and for long periods of time.
