Anybody know.........


Anybody know what's up with the oddball/bad English title?

Why isn't it: "Henry Goes TO Arizona"?

I can understand if this was made in the recent past as apparently nothing is taught as far as spelling, grammar, sentence structure, etc. in the schools systems anymore. But this was back when people were expected to speak and spell correctly, even in Hollyweird.

"Arizona" in this context denotes more than the proper noun.
Think of it as a dated (1939) expression describing a way of life.
For instance if it had been titled, "Henry Goes Hollywood" or "Henry Goes Native."

Yippie yi yo kayah!

Ahhhh..... Okay then. I guess I was just being dense. Since I spent a couple years in Arizona, I too can say that "I went Arizona"! ;^) lol

Good for you! I started out in Arizona and went Hollywood!

This movie came out almost 4 months after The Wizard of Oz was released.
I half expected Frank Morgan to arrive in Tonto City in a balloon.
