(1931) Richard Dix, Irene Dunne, Estelle Taylor, William Collier, Jr., Nance O’Neil, Roscoe Ates, Stanley Fields, George E. Stone, Oscar winner for Best Picture! Dix takes his wife (Dunne) from a peaceful life in Wichita to the rugged Oklahoma Territory during the Land Rush to start a newspaper. This incredible western epic follows Dix’s restless wanderlust as he witnesses the lawless frontier evolve into a modern, oil-rich state. Tons of action and intrigue. The Oklahoma Land Rush sequence is amazing. The first film to be nominated for Oscars in all five major categories—Picture, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director, and Best Screenplay. Watch for the cool shootout when an outlaw gang rides into town with guns blazing. Wow. From 35mm.
