A Sprawling Action Tale of the Fight Between Oilmen and Cattlemen in Oklahoma, 11 September 1999
Author: Kirasjeri from Brooklyn NY

In the early 1920's there was the inevitable clash between the cattle ranchers and the burgeoning oil drillers in Oklahoma. This account of that clash, filmed in color, is fast moving and interesting. It revolves around Susan Hayward's character, and Hayward is marvelous as always, and how she has to learn to adapt to the inevitable changes being wrought by the explosion of oil money. The climactic oil field fire is well done indeed. Recommended.
