Trailer Synopsis Cast

The "gentleman" is played by John King, but the star of the show is J. Farrell McDonald, cast as a chronic gambler named Coburn. When the old man loses every penny he has, wandering cowboy Pokey (King) comes to the rescue by grooming a wild stallion for a successful racetrack career. Everything comes to a head during the climactic Big Race, with the expected (but still satisyfing) results. Ruth Reece and Joan Barclay share the leading-lady responsibilities, while the villainy is in the capable hands of Monogram's ace utility actor Craig Reynolds.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

My next door neighbor was a producer on this film, and he screened it for my family in his wonderful old west screening room at his estate when I was a kid. A better than average B-movie of the era, The Gentleman from Arizona was shot in great color, with an engaging cast and historic locations. Some of the scenes were filmed in the Arizona Biltmore area when there was a fancy riding stable there. I think the stables were torn down in the early 1970's.Charlie Goetz, our neighbor, explained that they had of course wanted Shirley Temple to play the role of the little girl, but she was unavailable. Ruthie Reese stepped up, singing, dancing and meddling her little heart out.The requisite cowboy/rancher's daughter romance, sneering bad guy and exciting horse race make this a fun picture. Lots of music and pretty scenery add in to make it a charming time capsule of early Arizona film making.

I have known about this movie all my life but had never seen it until recently. It is a classic western story; good cowboy vs bad Easterner, good looking cowboy trying to get beautiful girl, desperate rancher trying to save the ranch, innocent little girl trying to stay with her animal friends, and last, but not least, the beautiful stallion who wins the big race and thereby makes everything else happen.In the end, the ranch is saved, the cowboy gets the girl, the bad guy is defeated and goes away, and the stallion returns to the wild where he whinnies his thanks while silhouetted against an Arizona evening sky before disappearing over the hill. Cowboy, beautiful girl and charming little girl smile and wave goodbye.More than just a old movie, this film is a time capsule that gives us a glimpse back to another time and a way of life that we would know nothing of otherwise.Thank you Earl J Haley...Tom Chick
