...just a man but a whole concept of humanity, and Saxon's brazen theft of the hoss soon looms as a cause equal in significance to the Magna Carta or the Declaration of Human Rights. Though Saxon ropes Brando, drags him through a stream, and presses his forearm onto a scorpion during an Indian wrestling match, Brando survives to get away with the girl, get on his horse and get off a well-aimed parting shot. All the surprises in Appaloosa are visual ones, achieved by Director Sidney...

After some chitchat, Spiegel told the girl, "I'm going to count one, two, three, and your eyes will close and you'll go into a relaxed state," and she promptly went into a trance. Spiegel told her that her left forearm would become paralyzed and numb, arid that this condition would persist, even after she "came to," until he touched her elbow. When he ended the trance, the girl remained rooted before the receiver, her left arm numb and inert. After the usual wait for a hospital elevator, Spiegel walked into...
