Tucson poster

Released in 1949, Tucson is a drama and western film directed by William F. Claxton, running about 64 minutes. “THE GREAT SOUTHWEST IS THE ALL-AMERICAN CAMPUS NOW...” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. The story of Andy Bryant, a University of Arizona student whose grades suffer because of his preoccupation with an upcoming intercollegiate rodeo. Andy's father is more interested in embarrassing a rival at the rodeo than he is with his son's academic progress. When his lack of focus nearly causes a tragic accident in the university chemistry lab, Andy decides to hunker down and study.

Who’s in it. Tucson stars Jimmy Lydon as Andy Bryant, Penny Edwards as Laurie Sherman, Deanna Wayne as Jennifer Johnson and Charles Russell as Gregg Johnson, among others.
