...Dolores Del Rio are intimations of the tragedy that might have been. Most of the time, though, Ford scatters his beleaguered redskins listlessly across a 70-mm. Super Panavision landscape, showing twice the width but little of the scope that distinguished such Ford classics as Stagecoach. Perhaps he feels alien to Indians who don't come over the hill in war paint. The make-believe Cheyennes appear somewhat out of it themselves.

The appropriate adjective is "civilized," a word alien to this country, used on this side of the Atlantic only as a term of condescension or ridicule. The New Republic is civilized in the French sense of the term: "rendu correct ou elegant." And, because it is civilized, it can civilize those who read it, by stimulating interest in new problems and by fostering perspective in regard to old ones...
