Noted for such memorable westerns as Stagecoach, Veteran Director John Ford apparently believes that the trick of making an eastern is to change the road signs and trade his Indians for Mongolian invaders. The white man's burden falls, while he lasts, to Eddie Albert as an expectant father who berates himself just before the bandit attack with: "What kind of man was I, to get my wife pregnant at a time like this?" As the wife, Betty Field runs the risk of menopausal pregnancy, while the other girls crank up enough trauma for several melodramas. Mission Leader Margaret...
...Mongolian gerbil (pronounced jur-bill), a ball of fluff only four inches long (plus three inches of tufted tail) that looks and leaps like a vest-pocket kangaroo. It is socially quite acceptable, has impeccable manners and irresistible charm. Its credentials are faultless: a desert species native to Eastern Europe, Asia and Africa, it is clean, odorless and friendly, eats little (sunflower seeds, lettuce, corn), excretes less (three drops of urine a day), and never bites.

...more formal wear, he has a backless calfskin evening dress stenciled to look like giraffe, a floor-length, tent-shaped Mongolian lamb coat that, with peaked hood attached, exposes only the eyes, and a white broadtail wedding dress with a ten-foot train. His showstopper is a black broadtail coat that is full of holes. It brings the peekaboo look to furs, can be worn over a full-length evening dress or nothing more than a body stocking-as shown in Kaplan's shows...
