The Cimarron Kid

The Cimarron Kid is a 1952 Western film starring Audie Murphy.

The film was the first Western from Budd Boetticher, who later became famous for his work in the genre. I became a western director because they thought I looked like one and they thought I rode better than anyone else, said Boetticher later. And I didnt know anything about the west. It was also the directors first film in color and his first under a long term contract with Universal Pictures.In the original script, Murphys character died at the end of the movie. However, the studio decided to change it to reflect the actorss rising popularity. ........
