I first saw this movie at ten years old and read the book shortly thereafter. I now own a first edition. Coming from Oklahoma, this beautiful "love story" made my young heart yearn. I imagine that this is exactly what the Oklahoma Land Run looked and felt like. Please see, if for no other reason than for how handsome Mr. Ford and Ms. Schell are! Although there were many moments that took my breath away, prepare yourself for an ending that you both do and do not expect. It will make young women sigh and older women understand the meaning of true love. "Cimarron" is larger than life - a spectacular movie that contains history, action and heartbreak.
