Just before a night session of the Diet last week, he expansively invited some 20 fellow Diet members to dine with him. Host Izumiyama, who is 52, turned up a little late, a little drunk.

Two-gun Cowgirl Calamity Jane (Jane Russell) is released from a jail sentence to track down some low characters who are smuggling rifles and firewater to the Indians. When three of these gimlet-eyed fellows trap her in a bath house (where she keeps her guns slung to her garters), she plugs them and larrups away with a hunt-and-peck dentist, Dr. Painless Peter Potter (Hope). She marries Painless for the sake of appearances, then gets rather fond of him. Whenever he gets...
