Revolution? The end of uncensored news reports at once heightened the tension. Popular movie houses were deserted, business went to pot. Most shops and stores languished; groceries and gasoline stations, on the other hand, were mobbed by citizens who momentarily expected a revolution and wanted to stock up.

With minor acting interludes supplied by Bert Lahr, Marjorie Main, and a pot-bellied Indian chief, the film moves slowly to a rather cynical conclusion. Not only is red-faced, stalwart Howard Keel jilted, but Ann Blyth, who rivals the scenery for talent, rides off with Fernando Lamas to tend his trap lines for two or more years. They are not married...
