...Rancho Notorious (RKO Radio) is not meant to be taken seriously-even though it begins with a rape-murder and ends with Marlene Dietrich dying nobly for her fellow man. Director Fritz Lang has shaped his Technicolor western in the form of a cowboy ballad: the plaintive lyrics, sung by William Lee, set the stage for Arthur Kennedy's far-ranging manhunt of the foul fiend who dishonored and killed his sweetheart (Gloria Henry...

While a U.S. livestock inspector examined the beast's mouth, a Mexican technician shaved a spot on its hide, injected 2 cc of vaccine and clipped a tag to its ear. The two men were agents of the Mexico-U.S. commission for the eradication of foot-and-mouth disease, known in Spanish as aftosa. They were winding up the last series of injections in a three-year campaign to rid Mexico...
