William Brogdon Variety Neither the script nor Budd Boetticher's direction asks much of the players. Apr 28, 2020 Full Review Jay Carmody Washington Star Murphy who showed a decent talent for acting in the recent Red Badge of Courage is all the way back where he began in his latest performance. Apr 28, 2020 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Briskly paced with never a dull moment. Rated: B Apr 28, 2020 Full Review David Parkinson Radio Times Better known for his psychological westerns, Budd Boetticher handles this programme filler with intelligent efficiency, drawing a thoughtful performance from Murphy, with whom he would reunite for the star's swansong, A Time for Dying. Rated: 3/5 Apr 28, 2020 Full Review Michael E. Grost Classic Film and Television Brilliant scene where Murphy and friends escape through a rail yard. Feb 1, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Very good one right here highly recommend it James Welch, Henderson, Arkansas, April 5, 2023 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/05/23 Full Review bill t Enjoyable enough western featuring everybody's favorite war hero Audie Murphy as Bill Doolin, a bit of creepy guy with a heart of gold and a penchant for robbing banks. A remake of the somewhat better Doolins Of Oklahoma, Murphy is good, perhaps missing a bit of raw edge this part needs, but who cares as he's a dreamboat. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member a fair to good western where Audie Murphy after being railroaded end ups being an outlaw a rareity for Audie. the movie had lots of nice horses which makes me happy. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Audie Murphy as outlaw Bill Doolin in a compact western... They Made Audie A Criminal--The Cimarron Kid is a tightly-made, action-packed, very entertaining Western of the Oklahoma outlaws sub-genre. It is well directed by Bud Boetticher, generally well acted, pleasingly scored, and beautifully filmed in three-strip Technicolor... A rip-roaring shoot-em-up with a great story line!! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Glossy western notable for the unusual anti-hero storyline, although not notable for much else. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Mostly very good, but it derails a bit by the end as it stumbles for a semi-happy ending. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
