Rapid Fire. By the fifth round old Jersey Joe, 37, conserving his energy and making every blow count, had slowed down his younger (30) rival. Walcott's sneak right-the one that caught Louis-opened a gash in Charles's lip. A left cut Charles under his right eye. Another right to the jaw staggered Charles just as the bell rang.

But much of the story is fitted neatly into a weeks-long cattle roundup over vast stretches of Technicolored country. In the spirit of 1948's excellent Red River, if not with the same scope and skill, Vengeance Valley works diligently to show what a big job a roundup is, and just how the cowpunchers...
