Wesley Ruggles's Arizona is an epic western set in an impoverished Arizona outpost. It tells the story of the feisty, no-nonsense Phoebe Titus (Jean Arthur). Wearing leather breeches, with a bullwhip and gun, she can out-shoot and out-fight nearly every bad hombre in town, and manages to transform the down-and-out community into Tuscon, one of the most respected towns in the West. When handsome Peter Muncie (William Holden) arrives, on his way to California, Phoebe asserts that he is the perfect person to help her run her cattle ranch, and the two fall in love. But one obstacle makes their plans extremely difficult: con man Jefferson Carteret (Warren William), who secretly hatches a plan to cheat Phoebe out of the property and annihilate Peter on the couple's wedding day. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Christopher T.

The first movie filmed at what became Old Tucson Studios, "Arizona" features memorable panoramas of the Sonoran landscape and stunning performances by Columbia's leading lady, Jean Arthur, and the young William Holden. Arthur, charismatic as the gritty, never-say-die Phoebe Titus, shows a different version of the strong woman she portrays in such films as Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.
