This movie was the 1931 Best Picture Academy Award winning movie – the fourth year the award was given. The movie is set in Oklahoma prior to 1900 when it was first opened up for settlers and takes the story through 1930. There is a horrible love story about a guy that is never around and the lady that loves him. It makes him out to be a star of some sort but I just think he was a jerk. Interesting, at least to me, is that this movie also had a prominent character that had a stutter. His stutter was different than the character in “The Broadway Melody” the movie that won the Academy Award two years prior. Not sure I remember any other movies with a character that stutters.
The title of the movie comes from the name of the child of the main characters – although he doesn’t figure in the story very much.
44 Best Picture movies seen. Only 36 left to see.
