Featured review
An Enjoyable Old Film From Yesteryear
This film begins with a young West Point cadet by the name of "Bob Denton" (John Wayne) abruptly ending his two-year relationship with his girlfriend "Evelyn Palmer" (Laura La Plante) just before graduation. For her part, Evelyn is devastated by this news as she had anticipated their getting married in the near future. So, in order to get back at him, she decides to date Bob's superior officer and mentor "Colonel Frank Bonham" (Forrest Stanley). One thing leads to another, and they are soon married with Frank getting assigned to an army post in Arizona. However, since Bob was on training maneuvers at the time, he is completely unaware of their relationship. To that effect, he is taken completely by surprise when he is ordered to report for his first assignment to Arizona--with Colonel Bonham as his new commanding officer. Further complicating the situation is the fact that Evelyn's younger sister "Bonita Palmer" (June Clyde) is living with them and, much to the consternation of Evelyn, falls madly in love with Bob. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this film was initially released under the title of "Men Are Like That" but, since it was a remake of an earlier silent picture from 1913, renamed "Arizona" to reflect that fact. For what it's worth, it was also released under the title of "The Virtuous Wife" in the United Kingdom. Be that as it may, although this movie is quite dated, I enjoyed it for the most part and I have rated it accordingly. Slightly above average.
