Cimarron Strip (1967-68) is a lavish weekly 90-minute US western television series (75 minutes excluding commercial breaks) starring Stuart Whitman as Marshal Jim Crown. Produced by the creators of Gunsmoke and almost certainly the most violent TV western of its time, the series was intelligently written for adults and the theme music, by Oscar-winning composer Maurice Jarre, was one of the most memorable of the 1960s. While the series was fictional, the historical 1880s background of the Cimarron River region was genuine. The home of Marshal Jim Crown was set in the real community of Cimarron City; however, the program's creator took considerable poetic license and relocated the historical frontier town closer to the Indian Territory's panhandle for dramatic purposes. The colorful location landscapes appearing in the television program were not those of western Oklahoma, but rather of southern California, New Mexico, and Utah where the series was filmed.
