...Simply Gorgeous. The "trial"-a kind of rally for motorcycles*-is a punishing test of bike-handling skill that requires the agility of an acrobat, the know-how of a mechanic, and the endurance of Job. Riders use special, lightweight motorcycles with high ground clearance (for traversing rocky terrain), special gears (for hill-climbing power), and waterproofed engines (for fording streams).

...Columbia) is a capricious, unsuccessful but oddly likable western by Director John Ford, who starts off by making it seem clear that the film will be a horselaugh opera. Jimmie Stewart plays a grafting marshal who has a 10% piece of everything in a Panhandle dust hole, including a gorgeous sporting-house proprietress. But when a cavalry lieutenant (Richard Widmark) asks him mysteriously to ride 40 miles to the fort, Stewart scuttles away with him. The sporting lady wears a stiletto, the marshal explains, and favors marriage...
