...Human Scratch-Pad" and dermographia [extreme sensitivity of the skin-Jan. 19]: as a long sufferer of this complaint, I thought you might be interested in knowing that it had one positive aspect for me. When I was younger, nothing quite so impressed a girl on a day at the beach as emblazoning her name on my forearm in bright, raised letters. It served to cement a number of relationships.

...hero (Gary Cooper) is a sort of frontier Freud who can discharge a complex almost as fast as he can trigger a six gun. He sets up as a sawbones in a gold-mining camp, and pretty soon a pretty Swiss girl (Maria Schell), survivor of a stagecoach stickup, is brought in for treatment. He has no trouble healing her body-she is suffering from exposure, concussion, sun blindness. So then he sets out to heal her mind-she is suffering from the shock of seeing her father murdered by the bandits. As might be expected, the hero...
