...this saga of Superman on horseback is impeded by a horde of females. First onscreen is dewy-eyed Karen Sharpe, who trembles like a subway grating each time Bob goes roaring past. Next comes imperious Jan Sterling, manageress of a gaggle of dancing girls at the Palace Saloon. Jan has a secret: she is Mitchum's estranged wife, and soon they are exchanging the barbed dialogue that veteran moviegoers recognize as the Hollywood hallmark of true love. Eventually, while his enemies steal up on him from two directions, Mitchum takes that long, long walk down the deserted cow-town...
...most of David Oistrakh's time is spent flying from concert to concert, his Stradivarius slung from one shoulder, his movie camera from the other. "Liszt had enough time to be a great composer and a great virtuoso," he complains, "and he got around on horseback." He gives 25 to 30 concerts a year in Russia, and 30 to 40 abroad.

...single shot from a comparatively light 30-30 rifle is enough to fell a moose; a second will answer that only a powerful .35 Remington Express with a 200-grain bullet is equal to the task. Is a bear's eyesight bad? Should elk be hunted on horseback? Is a Rocky Mountain goat harder to kill than a grizzly? Fresh experiences refuel the old arguments every fall and keep them raging until the next big-game hunting season comes around...
Unfortunately for the new upbeat trend, the week's best play was downbeat all the way. On CBS's Climax! Irving Stone's Sailor on Horseback charged head on into TV taboos-illegitimacy, Socialism and failure. As hard-living Novelist Jack London, Actor Lloyd Nolan seemed physically too slight for the role but in the essential scenes he created a sense of force and fury that lifted the play over its hurdles. Mercedes McCambridge played London's chillingly correct sister, and Mary Sinclair was excellent in her despairing efforts to be the proper wife...
