Cimarron -- Big, sprawling and generally lethargic Western from the Edna Ferber novel stretching from the 1889 Oklahoma land rush to World War I tells the story of a would-be rancher (Glenn Ford) who becomes a crusading newspaper editor but alienates his wife (Maria Schell) by fighting crime and bigotry instead of getting rich. Director Anthony Mann scores on the big action scenes but bores with the domestic soap operatics. Stylized frontier violence and marital rifts. (A-I) (br) 1960
