Detailed plot synopsis reviews of Arena (1953)


An aging rodeo star (Gig Young) meets up with his estranged wife (Polly Bergen) at an engagement in Tucson, Arizona. Although she tries to appear indifferent, the wife has actually traveled to the Tucson arena in a last-ditch attempt to win back her husband. Unfortunately, he is now entangled with a blonde siren (Barbara Lawrence) who has no intention of letting her "meal ticket" wander back home. On the other hand, the wife's bid is vigorously supported by a mutual friend, Lew Hutchins (Henry "Harry" Morgan). A former rodeo champion of champions, Hutchins is now reduced to playing a clown.
