Sedale S. @sedale143 Apr 11 Westerns aren’t usually my thing, but instead of cowboys and Indians this gives much rich history to how things were and makes me realize how trivial and silly it is to purchase land today compared to See more Christian K @ckacar Jan 7 Pretty uninspiring work across the board, with seemingly nothing interesting to say about the time or the people living in it.

For its time the exterior shots of vast land and the city is truly amazing for the time along with the huge group of extra cast members for the outside shots.

I like the parallel stories of the growith of the small Western settlement to major city, paired with the main family's humble beginnings, but growing in wealth, power and political influence. And despite his family's success over 40 years, the patriarch still sticks to his ideals of justice and pioneering spirit. Movie justly received Oscars for production design and art direction.

I suppose at the time it was lauded and, in full disclosure, I am not a huge western fan and this is only one of three westerns to win Best Picture in history (the first). The movie didn't recoup the budget RKO spent on the film due in large part to the depression. There are strong performances by Irene Dunne and it is riddled with offensive stereotypes. I think the film is an excellent study about how tastes have changed over the years. It's badly dated, slow moving, and pocked with racist caricatures. The recreation of the great 1889 Oklahoma Land Rush remains exciting but unfortunately the film never manages to top the opening shot.

It's a load of guff but kept me entertained which wasn't always the case with early best picture wins. Not as bad as some of the dross to pick up the top award. And with that, I'm done. The epic track through best picture winners is over... until this year's winner is announced. See more Read all reviews
