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.
