...symbolism, and almost always clogs fine scenes with impassioned hyperbole or artless redundacy. Only one short episode escapes exaggeration: Montgomery Clift, a battered rodeo rider, telephoning his mother to say that he is alive and well. In contrast to this, there is the climactic scene, where Gable wrestles a stallion to the ground, proves his human strength, then cuts the animal loose. Here, Miss Monroe murmurs stupidly to the horse, "Go home," thus burlesquing the very impact that Miller had achieved...
...tale that was never worth telling in the first place. Plot: Hollywood has-been (Dailey) can't find money or nerve to make picture. Loyal stooge (Cantinflas) wins money at Las Vegas.

Fortnight ago, pale, thin Audrey Hepburn came back shakily before the cameras after a month in bed following her fall from a white Arabian stallion named Gui Pago (TIME. Feb. 9). Aiding her convalescence were her French secretary, Italian hairdresser and Husband Mel Ferrer. At company expense she installed her retinue in a florid villa, refurbished to match the Ferrers' Beverly Hills mansion. But trouble was far from over. Returning from a trip to Nicaragua, three of the film's technicians were killed when their plane crashed near Managua. This tragedy was followed by a farce, when Director...
