Thus, again and again, the landscape tables refer to something other than landscape. Knife in the Rock, 1970, for example, suggests the pointed blade of a Japanese tanto (short sword) impressed in the stone, as though the granite were wax.

...Maria (Jossie De Guzman), sister of Sharks Leader Bernardo (Hector Jaime Mercado), and Tony (Ken Marshall), the best friend of Jets Leader Riff (James J. Mellon). In a switchblade rumble between the two gangs, which Tony tries to prevent, Bernardo/Tybalt kills Riff/Mercado, and Tony plunges a lethally avenging blade into Bernardo. Love conquers clan loyalties as Maria clings unswervingly to Tony...
