...Sure enough, it was no Gone With the Wind. The Wind blew for four solid hours; Went goes on for ten minutes short of three. The Wind cost $4,000,000 to make; Went, a mere $2,400,000. The Wind was photographed in some of the most florid Technicolor ever seen; Went is in Quaker black & white and Hollywood's pearliest mezzotones. The Wind was perhaps the greatest entertainment natural in screen history; Went, though its appeal is likely to be broad, is essentially a "woman's picture." But it is obviously, in every foot, the work...
...Cactus" when the whole thing lacked realism. But Hollywood, not to be caught napping, has brought all of this to its public in typical fashion, adding new thrills with marvelous color photography. Big names, horses, Indians--what else--, and lots of extras have been thoroughly mixed, seasoned well with technicolor, and served hot in the newest Wild West thriller...
...battle of War Bonnet Gorge, for which Cody was given the Congressional Medal of Honor, is the most notable sequence: Filmed on the scene of the original battle, it is made vivid and real by the brilliance of technicolor which gives breath-taking color to the outdoor scenes.

Biggest casting problem: an actress adequate for the double role of nun and Madonna. The film will be in Technicolor, and will run the better part of four hours...
Whitewashed behind the ears and rouged in Technicolor, this friendly piece of grave robbery substitutes drawling charm for the rawboned, murderous innocence of the frontier. A pretty Indian girl (Linda Darnell) teaches Bill Cody how to write a presentable letter to his pretty Eastern bride-to-be (Maureen O'Hara). Likewise prettily, in a coy ritual with a blanket, they plight their troth. When Bill and his wife break up there is no hint of the fact that he was quite a bronco buster with the ladies, nor does he follow history by accusing his wife of trying...
