...stiff for a six-year-old's birthday party. Like Carnera, El Toro (touchingly portrayed by Wrestler Mike Lane) falls among thieves. A well-known gambler and fixologist named Nick Benko (played good and heavy by Rod Steiger) buys up his contract and starts to fatten the Bull for the kill...
...know who wrote the April 16 review of The Bold and the Brave but I would like to express my profound gratitude for it ... The idea for the movie came about when a young producer friend of mine was showing a 16-mm. film history of the 34th ("Red Bull") Division, and I saw my own tank destroyer in action in Italy.

Just as the brigade approached bankruptcy, the Union defeat at Bull Run made President Lincoln happy to put Sickles' volunteer army on the Federal payroll. Sickles hired chefs from Delmonico's to keep the mess happy, but good cooking did not save him from losing a third of his men in the advanced position he had taken up against Meade's orders at Gettysburg. While the rights of the matter were still being...
