The Arizona Kid (1930 Film)
''The Arizona Kid'' is a 1930 American pre-Code Western film directed by Alfred Santell. It was produced by Fox Film Corporation. The original idea was for the film to be a sequel to ''In Old Arizona'' (1928), in which Warner Baxter played the Cisco Kid, a character from O. Henry’s 1907 short story ''The Caballero’s Way''. His performance earned him the Academy Award for Best Actor. However, the studio discovered that the rights they had acquired allowed for only a single direct adaptation of the story, which had already been used for the 1928 film. To get around this limitation, Fox released ''The Arizona Kid'', with Baxter playing Chico Cabrillo, a variation of the same archetype, presented as “The Arizona Kid”. The following year, the studio returned to the original character with ''The Cisco Kid'' (1931), once again starring Baxter alongside Conchita Montenegro and Edmund Lowe. The film features Carole Lombard in one of her early roles. The film was a hit at the b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
