The Arizona Kid (1930)

Director:

Alfred Santell

Writers:

Ralph Block (story), Joseph Wright (screenplay)

Stars:

Warner Baxter, Carole Lombard, Theodore von Eltz

Warner Baxter, who had won an Academy Award for playing the Cisco Kid in In Old Arizona (1929), is at it again, fake Spanish accent and all, in this fanciful Western filmed on-location at Utah's Zion National Park. Cisco in anything but name, The Arizona Kid loves all the ladies in Rockville, UT, but especially the fiery Lorita (Mona Maris), who sings in the local saloon. Operating a secret mine by day and playing the noble bandit at night, the Kid is only one step ahead of the local sheriff (Walter P. Lewis), who has his suspicions as to his real identity. Said identity, however, is about to be revealed when the carefree bandit falls for a flaxen-haired Easterner, Virginia Hoyt (Carole Lombard), who arrives in Rockville with Nick (Theodore Von Eltz), a handsome crook whom she passes off as her brother, but in reality is her husband. Although contemporary reviewers believed The Arizona Kid to be yet another O. Henry creation, the character was conjured up by screenwriter Ralph Block.

ONE OF SIX MOVIES FILMED IN GRAFTON, UT

Posted by ED on Feb 7th 2015

GAVE IT A 4 RATING, ONLY BECAUSE OF THE QUALITY OF THE ORIGINAL FILM (1930)THE DVD WAS COPIED FROM. HATS OFF TO ZEUS FOR PRESERVING & MAKING AVAILABLE AN 80+ YEAR OLD FILM! ZEUS IS THE ONLY SOURCE I KNOW OF FOR THIS FILM & SO MANY OTHER "OLDIES"! THIS COPY OF THE FILM IS DEFINITELY OF WATCHING QUALITY, AND A TREAT. IT IS ALSO ONE OF 6 MOVIES FILMED IN GRAFTON, UT (FROM 1929 TO 1984, INCLUDING THE 1969 "BUTCH CASSIDY & SUNDANCE KID". I'VE VISITED THE TOWN A NUMBER OF TIMES. DESCENDANTS ARE RESTORING THE STRUCTURES, BUT THERE'S ONLY ABOUT 6 REMAINING OF THE ORIGINAL 30+. KUDOS ALSO FOR THE INFORMATIVE & QUALITY JACKET OF THE FILM'S HISTORY ON THE JEWEL CASE!
