Billed as the first outdoor western photographed with sound, Raoul Walsh and Irving Cummings’ In Old Arizona is as much an indoor as it is an outdoor western, and with the primitive sound techniques available to the filmmakers of the time, that’s purely understandable. Those new to the story may be disappointed in the very limited amount of action that’s here; it’s a very talky western melodrama despite featuring the first sound incarnation of The Cisco Kid, but those with an interest in early sound cinema will get a kick out of this early attempt to merge a popular genre with the emerging novelty of the talkies.
