Arizona Cowboys is a belated record of his stay, a book of 160 pages, with eleven brief chapters sandwiched among 34 fine camera studies which range from close-ups of outlaw bulls to shots of magnificent desert scenery...

Mr. March turns in an excellent performance, but the honors go to Akim Tamiroff in the role of Dominique You.

The picture is recommended for first-class entertainment...
