In Old Arizona	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })In Old Arizona is a 1928 film directed by Irvin Cummings and an uncredited Raoul Walsh, starring Warner Baxter.The Cisco Kid (Baxter) is a thief and outlaw in the Arizona Territory in 1898. (Arizona did not become a state until 1912.) He is a rather gentlemanly thief, holding up Wells Fargo stages but refusing to steal from individuals; when the Kid finds out that the town barber lost $87 from a gold box that the Kid robbed, he returns the money.He is also humanized by his love for a beautiful maiden, Tonia Maria (Dorothy Burgess). The Kid is devoted to Tonia Maria and plans to get out banditry and take her back to his homeland of Portugal. What he doesn't know is that Tonia Maria is actually not in love with him at all, bleeding him for money and presents while also apparently working as a prostitute while he's away. While the kid is off pulling what he imagines will be One Last Job, Tonia Maria falls for Sgt. Mickey Dunn (Edmund Lowe), who is active duty in the local cavalry battalion. Mickey has orders to be transferred back to Governor's Island in New York City, and he promises to take Tonia Maria with him and show her the high life. They hatch a plan, one that involves the $5000 bounty for the capture and killing of the Cisco Kid.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Adapted from the O. Henry short story "The Caballero's Way". In Old Arizona was one of the first all-talking films ever made. Much of it was shot outdoors when most early talkies were indoor pieces with actors standing rooted next to hidden microphones. Warner Baxter won the second Best Actor Oscar for a talking performance for his portrayal of the Cisco Kid.Director Raoul Walsh, who had both acted and directed his previous feature Sadie Thompson, was supposed to play the Cisco Kid as well as direct. One night while he was out driving around on location, a jackrabbit leaped up and crashed through his windshield. Walsh lost an eye, and wound up being replaced by Baxter in front of the camera and Cummings behind it. Walsh wore an eyepatch for the rest of his life and never acted again, but enjoyed a long and highly successful career as a director.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })

In Old Arizona / int_113472aa	comment	Miles Gloriosus: Charlie the stagecoach driver has a gun, but meekly hands it over before handing over the Wells Fargo cash box to the Cisco Kid. Later, he insists that if only his gun hadn't gotten stuck in the holster, he totally would have shot the Kid dead.

In Old Arizona / int_1b73fada	comment	The Dandy: The Cisco Kid wears an ornate outfit with fancy trimmings. He is shown getting a shave rather than look scraggly like the typical bandit. He has the barber prepare him a fancy bath. And he tells Mickey that he uses perfumes so he'll smell nice, which leads Mickey to call him "Fauntleroy."

In Old Arizona / int_3f45f1e6	comment	Adaptational Heroism: In the O. Henry short story the Cisco Kid is pretty much The Sociopath, killing for sport, responsible for 18 murders. Here he is a sympathetic anti-hero. This movie pretty much Covered Up the O. Henry character, as the more sympathetic version of the Cisco Kid became the basis of all the many adaptations that followed.

In Old Arizona / int_565106b3	comment	Women Are Wiser: Zig-zagged. Tonia Maria is shown to be quite foolish. But the old woman Tonia Maria lives with chastens her several times to change her ways before the Kid finds out, seeming to know what will happen. She doesn't and pays the price. The old woman also figures Tonia Maria has it coming and sends the forged note by the Kid without objecting.

She has to push a gentleman caller out the back after the Cisco Kid shows up. Literally within a couple of minutes after the Kid leaves, she's cozying up to Dunn when he arrives at her little house.
