Arizona (1940)

Directed by Wesley Ruggles

Struggling to establish herself as the leading cattle rancher in the Arizona territory of the 1860s, Arthur’s Phoebe Titus is adept at squaring off with men who would oppose her, lining up men to help her and identifying one (Holden) to romance her. Sure-footed, urbane comedienne Arthur commands this male-dominated scenario without sacrificing her characteristic vigor or charm.
