3/5
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.

04/05/2023 Very good one right here highly recommend it James Welch, Henderson, Arkansas, April 5, 2023 See more bill t 01/17/2017 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. See more 02/04/2016 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. See more 11/24/2014 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!! See more 02/18/2012 Glossy western notable for the unusual anti-hero storyline, although not notable for much else. See more 03/05/2011 Mostly very good, but it derails a bit by the end as it stumbles for a semi-happy ending. See more Read all reviews
