Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Ameriatch One of the best films i have seen

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

jjnxn-1 Ordinary oater with a quality cast. Jean Arthur, always more at home in a business suit or city wear, seems uncomfortable in her role. She tries too hard to be at home in the western setting and therefore sticks out like a sore thumb. William Holden, still 10 years away from his mega-stardom, is more at home on the range and while callow makes a believable cowpoke. The rest of the cast is full of reliable supporting players, Edgar Buchanan is a standout, and the script isn't bad although it blows the climax by having it happen off screen. It also runs a little long, it could have been a half hour shorter with no loss to the story. For fans of the stars or westerns it's worth catching but nothing special.

malcolmgsw It is reassuring to see that even in Hollywoods Golden period they could churn out overblown epics in the manner they to do today.Maybe i am old fashioned but i like a lot of action in westerns not interminable talk.There are only 2 worthwhile action scenes in the whole of this turgid boring 125 minutes.If you are looking forward to the final gunfight between Williams and Holden well forget it.the action takes place off screen.Ruggles seems to have no idea of pacing.It is sow slow it took me 2 attempts to watch this film right through.On the second time it vied with Switzerland v Czech Republic as to being the most sleep inducing.6 years later Ruggles went to London to make London Town which a musical weighed in at 126 minutes.It was a total disaster and effectively spelt the end of Ruggles career as a Director.So if you like westerns my advice is give this a wide berth.

Spuzzlightyear The more unusual thing about this movie first of all, is that it presents a female character as the lead in a Western. You don't really see that happening too often (Oh OK, now that I think about it, Johnny Guitar, Way Down East, heck even Broken Blossoms). Jean Arthur is here playing the toughest gun slinging, hell raising Pie baker in the wild west! (well, OK, Tucson). Soon a wagon train heading to California comes into town, bringing William Holden with it. Arthur immediately gets goo-goo eyes for Holden, while Holden rather interestingly makes up an excuse about wanting to see the sun go down in California and finds a convenient reason to leave. Actually, it was quite funny watching Holden come and go all the time, making me believe that he was, excuse the expression, sowing his oats somewhere else. While Holden is who-knows where, Arthur has to put up with the advances of Warren William, playing a slimeball opportunist who, in something that really wasn't made totally clear, is clearly out to ruin Arthur's enterprise. Somewhat funny in it's sexism ways (Arthur just seems to become feminine in an instant whenever Holden is around) but a grand adventure nevertheless, Arizona is a good popcorn movie.

segstef This movie has every thing a western lover wants-shoot-out,cattle drive,Native American conflict,Calvarymen,strong leading lady character who is independent,but falls for the hero. and a hero who takes a supporting role,but grabs my attention every time he is on the screen. Different from most characters that William Holden plays, not cynical. The suspense at the end was so real; I could feel the same emotions as the character played by Jean Arthur.
