When Cronis wasn't passing, he was scooting like a rabbit around the ends for good gains. His passes were neither hard nor arrow-straight, but they were accurate. His offensive ends, Schalk and Johnny Leroy, were fast enough to got a few steps beyond Art French and his defensive substitutes, Bill Van Epps, constantly...
...produced by Casey (The Macomber Affair) Robinson with obvious enthusiasm. Director Robert Wise gets much of the authenticity of Brady's famed Civil War photographs into the bleak details of the P.W. camp and the isolated frontier post. Jeff Chandler (who was the upstanding Indian chief in Broken Arrow) plays the bitter and contemptuous commanding officer of Fort Thorn with such conviction that he very nearly steals the picture from Stars Cotten and Darnell.

The program : 1) organize a unit of Negrito tribesmen to clean the Huks out of three major provinces ("The Negritos," said Magsaysay, "know the mountains better and are more deadly with the bow & arrow than the Huks are with a gun"); 2) import some bloodhounds from the U.S. to help track the Huks through the jungles; 3) dump all captured and surrendered Huks on an uninhabited island and there teach them the democratic way of life...
