Spaces were neither wide nor open in most early westerns, but Cimarron—based on Edna Ferber's bestselling epic novel—opens with a thundering re-creation of the 1889 Oklahoma Land Rush. An Academy Award winner for Best Picture, Art Direction, and Screenplay, this generation-spanning 1931 saga of the land is the story of Yancey Cravat (Richard Dix) and his resourceful wife Sabra (Irene Dunne), pioneers who must contend with outlaws and Cherokees, while attempting to remain true to their own consciences and principles. This Special Edition includes the vintage musical short The Devil's Cabaret and a classic cartoon, Red-Headed Baby.
