ARIZONA DAYS

Cinemavixion Review

John English's "Arizona Days" (1937) offers a classic Western narrative centered on the resourceful cowboy Tex (Tex Ritter) and his loyal, stuttering companion "Grass" Hopper (Syd Saylor). The duo finds themselves entangled with a traveling show, only to face adversity when their wagons are burned by the notorious Price (Forrest Taylor, as Harry Pike). In a twist of fate, Tex steps into the role of tax collector, a position that puts him directly at odds with the very outlaw he must bring to justice. The film, though perhaps not a landmark in the genre, provides an engaging tale of frontier justice and the resilience of its protagonists. With a runtime of 57 minutes, it delivers a concise Western experience, typical of the era's output, and showcases the enduring appeal of Tex Ritter in the cowboy archetype.
