Fox's Oscar-nominated “In Old Arizona” is considered to be one of the first Westerns of the sound. Raoul Walsh was supposed to play the saga's central figure, the outlaw hero Cisco Kid, and to helm the picture, but on the way back from a location in Utah, a jackrabbit jumped through the windshield of his car, causing a bad accident that resulted in permanent blindness in the right eye. When Walsh was unable to finish the film, Fox replaced him with the industrious helmer Irving Cummings and cast the lead with Warner Baxter.

The generational conflict between Wayne and his immature soldiers is explicitly developed in Preminger's WWII drama. Wayne's Captain Rockwell Torrey, a commander of a ship cruiser, is described by one of his officers as “All Navy.” We also learn that Torrey's commitment to his career resulted in a broken marriage.

A chillingly effective adaptation of Truman Capote’s celebrated nonfiction novel, the movie set the standards by which subsequent docudramas should be made and evaluated.

Beautifully written and directed by Keisuke Kinoshita, “Immortal Love” was Japan’s entry for the Best Foreign Language Film of 1961.
