Arizona

Arizona (1940)

Phoebe Titus is a tough, swaggering pioneer woman, but her ways become decidedly more feminine when she falls for California bound Peter Muncie. But Peter won't be distracted from his journey and Phoebe is left alone and plenty busy with villains Jefferson Carteret and Lazarus Ward plotting at every turn to destroy her freighting company. She has not seen the last of Peter, however.

Arizona is a 1940 American Western film directed by Wesley Ruggles, and starring Jean Arthur, William Holden and Warren William.

Production

Ruggles read the Clarence Budington Kelland novel Arizona in 1939 and felt that the story had potential for a film. He proposed to Columbia Studios that he would direct the film in Tucson, Arizona. Scouting on location, he found a filming spot about 10 miles (16 km) west of downtown Tucson in the Sonoran Desert, against the backdrop of the Tucson Mountains.

To shoot the picture, 500 head of cattle, 150 oxen, stray dogs, 250 extras and crewmen were assembled. During the shooting, the cast and crew stayed at the Santa Rita Hotel in Tucson, and would attend variety shows and baseball games. Upon arriving in Tucson, Arthur was initially dubious about working with Holden, her romantic interest in the film who was 18 years her junior.

After filming, the site lay dormant for a few years during World War II, but was revived and converted into a full studio after the war. The studio continues today as Old Tucson Studios.
