...weighty matters often called the lord from his hearth. Thus it happened one day, while he was flying in a plane over distant lands, that he chanced to gaze on a well-turned knee, and confessed himself enchanted. The lord looked further, and saw a dark-haired damsel with a violin in her lap. Much smitten by the woman, who was proficient enough to play in the Sydney Symphony and pretty enough to model, the lord determined to bide his time but to renew the acquaintance once they were back in Merrie England...
...proved an almost impossible task. If any message emerged from the pandemonium, it was that Paris this year doesn't know where fashion is going. Skirts went from six inches above the knee (often worn with thigh-high boots) to mid-shin to ankle length (in some cases worn with frilly pantaloons). For color, black was back-hardly news to raise a cheer round the world. The results, wrote Gloria Emerson in the New York Times, "seem to be dresses for women who can't stop rereading old love letters." In the end, what Paris did have...

...mean, mean, mean. Don't punch cattle, punch a few women instead. Never waste a punch when a knee in the groin will do. Eliminate the love interest; it gets in the way of the violence. Surly, coldblooded, money grubbing antiheroes are the best, especially if they grunt a lot. And, most important for the successful western, it should be filmed in Spain by an Italian company with a cast of American stars and Italian and Spanish gypsy extras...
...length of their roles keeps Arthur Hunnicutt, one of the best character actors in Hollywood, from stealing the film. In a script full of raucous frontier humor, the most amusing scene slyly comments on the state of the western today. At the fadeout, Wayne has been pinked in the knee, Mitchum in the thigh. With crutches as swagger sticks, they limp triumphantly past the camera-two old pros demonstrating that they are better on one good leg apiece than most of the younger stars...
