This month, the OLFC gang delve into the Oscars' relationship with the wild west and great frontier.

Wesley Ruggles' Cimarron\\xa0depicts the vast change that took place in the west of America between the Oklahoma land rush of 1889 and 1931, through the eyes of Yancey and Sabra Cravat, played by Richard Dix and Irene Dunne.

In Unforgiven, directed by and starring Clint Eastwood, notorious outlaw William Munney, now living out his final years in obscurity as a farmer, is persuaded to take one last job for a $1000 reward. Deconstructing the tropes of the genre, we are left with a set of complicated characters living within the grey of morality and dealing with the visceral violence of the west at the time.
