Movie Reviews of Cimarron City
Movie Review: Unlike Any Western You Have Seen
Summary: 4 Stars
The show aired for one season from October 1959 to April 1960. 32 episodes were produced but the set contains only 12 one hour shows. I'm not sure how the 12 episodes were picked. It's hard to judge the quality of a show when you have only a third of the episodes on which to base your opinion. The setting for the show is in Oklahoma post Civil War era. Matt Rockford is the mayor of Cimmaron City and is the central character who solves all the town's problems and mysteries. Although the show is set in the Wild West, many of the plots are not really traditionally western in nature. For example, there is one show where Matt Rockford is a prisoner in a silver mine. Another show is something out of horror movie which features a severely deformed many who travels down the Oklahoma territory killing innocent people. There are a few good shows that fit with the western style genre. For example the episode To Become a Man is classic for it's portrayal of honor, courage, manhood, and western style shootouts. I guess you can say that Cimmaron City is an action/mystery show that is set in the west.
The quality of the video and audio is less than desirable and the acting is not as good as you would see in other westerns such as Gunsmoke and the Rifleman. I love westerns from the 1950s era but I really struggle with this one. It is no where near a 5 star rating but I'm not sure it is a low as a three either. If you love westerns you should get this show to fill out your collection. If you are looking for a top quality show, I wouldn't buy it.
