The Baron of Arizona
In one of his own favorite roles, Vincent Price portrays legendary swindler James Addison Reavis, who in 1880 concocted an elaborate and dangerous hoax to name himself the Baron of Arizona, and therefore inherit all the land in the state. Samuel Fuller adapts this tall tale to film with fleet, elegant storytelling and a sly sense of humor. James A. Reavis forges documents in the mid-1800s that turn the Arizona Territory over to a woman whom he later marries, setting himself up as owner of the state.
