Synopsis
The Baron of Arizona (1950) is Samuel Fuller's second film as director — a fact-based dramatic western starring Vincent Price that you can watch online on iFILM. The story centers on James Addison Reavis, a real 19th-century forger who spent years assembling a paper trail of doctored land grants and fabricated genealogies, all pointing to one audacious conclusion: that he and his wife owned every acre of the Arizona Territory.
His method was patience. Reavis found a foundling, raised her to believe in a noble Spanish lineage, married her, and walked into federal offices with documents that made his claim look unassailable. Price plays him not as a gunfighter but as a meticulous schemer — composed, persuasive, and far more dangerous than any outlaw with a pistol. Ellen Drew and Vladimir Sokoloff round out a cast that keeps the film grounded in the human cost of the deception. Watch The Baron of Arizona online on iFILM.
