Review of In Old Arizona (1928) by Adrian B — 20 Jan 2012
Warner Baxter, in one of the first Best Actor winning performances (certainly one not well picked), is an outlaw on the run in the deserts of Arizona. He meets an array of individuals, many Mexicans and is taken in by their hospitality.
He also steals from the wealthy people that travel through his territory and has a strange taste in women, to say the least. In current day Arizona, this film would be reviewed by critics as severely dated.
In current day British Columbia, which is where I am from, it would be dismissed. Lame western is mainly screechy and annoying, and drags on and on. Westerns like "Red River" and "The Searchers" exceed two hours and are heck of a lot better than this and also much faster to get through.
Very boring!
