Russians were particularly warned against Moscow's diplomatic cocktail circuit, where, said Pravda darkly, Western spymasters recruit new talent. Warned Pravda: "That was how they got hold of Penkovsky, and the same thing may happen to anyone who, in his blindness, nibbles at the bait the imperialists so lavishly toss out." Izvestia chimed in with an acid-etched portrait of the kind of comrade the imperialists are looking for.

Walter Brennan is deliciously vile as a river pirate who uses his vamp-eyed daughter (Starlet Brigid Bazlen) as bait to lure fur-laden Trapper Jimmy Stewart to a temporary downfall at the bottom of a cave. Raymond Massey is, for what seems like the four-score-and-tenth time, Abraham Lincoln. Gregory Peck is a tinhorn gambler, Robert Preston a roaring wagon master, Henry Fonda a walrus-mustached buffalo hunter...
