Mecham's arduous rise and contentious fall in Arizona poli­tics began in 1952, with an unsuccessful run for the state House of Representatives as a conservative Republican in heavily Demo­cratic western Pima County.
Arizona television stations replayed "Personalities in Govern­ment," which featured the veteran senator's views on various pres­idents and congressional leaders with whom he had served during his half-century in Congress.
In a broader sense, this fundamental transformation-the increasingly conservative posture of Arizona in particular and the American West generally-contrasts markedly with the late-nine­teenth- and early-twentieth-century political mood reflected in radical politics, unionism, and socialism.

What makes In Old Arizona (barely) watchable decades after its highly successful initial release is its sheer bizarreness.
Technically, the picture is of interest as a museum piece, for despite the use of the American Southwest’s wide-open spaces as background, In Old Arizona is not that different from other static, slow-moving, and poorly acted early talkies.

 DVD Talk Review: In Old Arizona (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.unc.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Adapted from O. Henry's The Caballero's Way, In Old Arizona follows the exploits (well, one exploit) of Conrado Sebastian Rodrigo Don Juan Chicuello (Warner Baxter), alias The Cisco Kid, gentleman bandit who never robs individuals, but merrily steals at gunpoint the Wells Fargo box off the noon stage.
Released on Christmas Day 1928, In Old Arizona was the first all-talking sound-on-film feature (versus sound via synchronized disc), and reportedly the first talkie shot outdoors, though probably a number of shorts predate it.
There are scratches and myriad other imperfections, but for a film this old we should be grateful that it survives at all.

It's of note solely because it was the first American film to use location sound—the sound was actually shot outdoors—as well as the first all-talking sound-on-film feature (instead of having the soundtrack recorded seperately).
In Old Arizona was nominated for five Oscars, but only Baxter won.
The other nominations were Picture, Cinematography (Arthur Edeson), Director (Cummings, who had finished the film after Walsh was injured in a freak car accident), and Writing (Tom Barry).

 In Old Arizona   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The first all-sound film (and the first sound film to be shot on location), In Old Arizona is a hopelessly dated and stilted outing, with Baxter giving a performance worthy of Leo Carillo (though Baxter actually won the Best Actor Oscar for the role).
He is matched by Burgess's thick and at times incomprehensible accent, and Dunn's broad mugging as the slow-moving pursuer.
Additionally, the image is often overly soft with blooming of the white areas.
