...badman (Aldo Ray) is the worst wrongo since Johnny Ringo. He breaks the tops off whisky bottles before he downs their contents, rapes and kills a dance-hall girl, sets fire to buildings and, all in all, makes the town of Hard Times a place to forget. While another dance-hall girl (Janice Rule) and a young boy conspire to knock off the villain next time he shows up, the mayor (Henry Fonda) is too frightened to kill and too tired to run. Anxious only to rebuild Hard Times and make it a good place for business, he gets...
...Beatles are slipping, their record sales provide no clue, for Revolver popped straight up the record charts. It includes a haunting, folklike ballad, mostly by Paul ("Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in the church Where a wedding has been"), and Yellow Submarine, a bright, repetitive ditty delivered by Ringo.

When they left two days later, the porters refused to carry their bags, and an angry crowd of Filipinos hollered "Go to hell!" and "Get out of our country!" John Lennon and George Harrison were roughed up against a wall, and Ringo was pushed down and kicked. What had the Beatles done? They had failed to show up at a scheduled luncheon with the wife of the President, Imelda Marcos. (The lads later claimed they were never invited.) Even a formal apology by the British embassy couldn't cool Philippine tempers...
RUBBER SOUL (Capitol). Ringo playing an organ? George plunking a sitar? Paul crooning in French? George Martin rattling off baroque piano riffs? The Beatles are becoming more sophisticated as they concentrate on soul music, and their eleventh album is selling even better than the other...
