The fourth film to win the Best Picture was Cimarron, a western that dramatized the Oklahoma land rush. Starring Irene Dunn and Richard Dix.
Despite the film's win, it barely made back its budget at the box office. It was the most expensive film made by RKO at the time, thus it had to earn an unheard of amount of money in order to become profitable. It eventually became profitable after a re-release. Today, however, the film is viewed as extremely dated. Many modern day reviewers feel that the film has not stood the test of time.
