Sorry but despite the fact that the 1931 version of this novel was the only western film to win an Academy Award for Best Picture it does not compare to the entertainment value of this version True this is perhaps not the best adaptation of Ms Ferbers novel but then how many films are perfect adaptations of their source material There are wonderful scenes missing from this adaptation but then there are wonderful scenes missing from the adaptation of GWTW No I am not comparing this to a classic like GWTW But the 31 version is not in the same class as GWTW either This film should be taken for what it actually is a good solid epic entertainment with spectacular scenes and good performances Glenn Ford is perfect casting for Yancy His performance is far superior to that of the overripe stilted scenery chewing one delivered by Richard Dix in the original Fords boyish manner easily captures the charming immature nature of the character Maria Schell is on a par with Irene Dunne It is a pity her character was rewritten from the novel to be weaker than Ferber intended This was obviously done to make the film Fords but shes still gives a performance that is on the money As so do the myriad supporting players in the film Back in 1960 MGM obviously needed a big movie to move into the theaters that had been playing BenHur for over a year So this production was rushed to completion to fit the bill The fact that it was shot in Cinemascope instead of a Big 70 mm process is evidence of this It has been written that the production was shut down before the scripted ending could be filmed This explains the rather abrupt and somewhat awkward end to the film Perhaps a regular non Roadshow release might have fared better both with the critics and at the boxoffice It often seems that those who praise the older version over this film have seldom actually seen the former For many years the 1931 version was not available for viewing During that period many film historians gushed in their praise of it When it finally reappeared on screens most of them found it very creaky and revised their opinions but the older opinions are still in print available and read True they didnt change their opinion of this version but the older fell into proper perspectiveCinema History and rather dry history at that While this version is not a classic it remains good entertainment Compare it to How The West Was Won made by the same studio just a few years later
