...settled feeling, I think, that Ike has met the challenge of the latter two points and, though there is need to worry about the first point, nothing definite has yet occurred, and no action is better than wrong action. Beyond those three points, the average farmer and rancher apparently look for little else from the Administration, which accounts for a general indifference to its record, or lack of it, up to now. There are certainly those with strong feelings about taxation, military spending and foreign aid, but save in special areas-such speculation centers and market places as Peoria...
...midstory, the film creakingly moves to Brazil and is taken over by the Rio de Janeiro chamber of commerce. In between plugs for the heady Brazilian climate, Lund falls off polo ponies and Lana exchanges passionate glances with Ricardo Montalban, who plays a bare-chested rancher with a coyly devilish grandfather (Louis Calhern).

Ava is the wife of a handsome, brave, wooden-faced Texas rancher (Howard Keel), who gets into a feud with a Mexican bandit (Anthony Quinn), a fellow who uses vino as a gargle. This bandit has a lieutenant...
Naturally, the dumping has caused prices to crash. Last week choice calves brought 16? a Ib. in Dallas (compared to 30? a year ago), and some cows sold for as little as 5? a Ib. (the alltime low in the great depression: 3?). Said Cleve Littlepage, a Tahoma, Texas rancher one day last week: "I had a little calf born on my place this morning. A month ago that calf would have been worth $35. maybe $40. I've offered it to ten men free and they all turned it down...
