His wife (in the original, Irene Dunne) winds up raising the family and running the business and becoming the foundation of Oklahoma's civilization, which is ironic of course, because without her husband's itchy desire to explore new frontiers, she wouldn't have been there in the first place. I'm sure Edna Ferber was saying it's the men who get all the credit but it's the women who actually make things work.<br /><br />I think the original is a pretty decent potboiler if you like that sort of thing.Mythical Monkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11330587602682498820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6924668268143757716.post-39449810619057409472009-09-25T12:59:41.982-04:002009-09-25T12:59:41.982-04:00Is this the same 'Cimarron' later re-made ...Is this the same 'Cimarron' later re-made with Glenn Ford and Maria Schell? I'm imagining it is, but my vague recollection of the latter version seemed to center around the fact that G. Ford's character was always leaving . . . ??<br /><br />What a cast of characters in these choices. I don't envy your task, Mister Myth Monk!<br /><br />It is pretty unbelievable that no westerns got the big prize during those 60 years. What a bunch of dorks . . . Also for ignoring Bela and Boris. Am wondering how much horror has been ignored Oscar-wise as a genre, perhaps in the same way that brilliant comedies/comedic performances are often overlooked.Lupnernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6924668268143757716.post-28621763373127081452009-09-23T07:45:15.892-04:002009-09-23T07:45:15.892-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Douglas Fairbankshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07618933609577319699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6924668268143757716.post-59606593337586082612009-09-22T22:45:36.548-04:002009-09-22T22:45:36.548-04:00By the way, I found a better picture of Lionel Bar...By the way, I found a better picture of Lionel Barrymore and Marie Dressler (along with Norma Shearer) from the wonderful blog "If Charlie Parker Was a Gunslinger, There'd Be a Whole Lot of Dead Copycats," posted in August 2005.
