There is a possibility that they

circumstance that while THE

1t Is merely an enlargement of a
story as familiar as the back of

young cavalry officer, his tough

naturally. the beautiful heroine.
They are played by Guy Madi-
son, James Whitmore, a whole

to them is precisely what always
has happened, not merely in
recent two-dimensional films but
all the way back to the Silents.
