...feel guilty by having to be somebody besides a housewife. These girls are in school, and they're the queens of the world. Then they get married, and they have problems, and they say it's not fair. Self-pity is the most common but the meanest trait there is. Of course, as a friend of mine says, if you don't pity yourself, who will...
...soon, the sham preacher helps a cattle rustler escape from jail. Persuaded to hide the hot-blooded crook in her Pullman berth, Catherine (Jane Fonda) begins to reveal a flair for lawlessness and disorder that turns out to be her most endearing trait. After she blows into Wolf City at gale force, her father is murdered for his land by a hired gunfighter (Lee Marvin).

As if feeling a pulse, his left hand roamed the length of the instrument, deftly depressing the vibrating strings in order to vary tones and lend the tinge of melancholy that is the unique trait of the koto. The opening melody, sketched against a background of moaning strings and sudden percussive bursts, followed the austere style of the ancient gagaku court music of Japan, then shifted in the second movement to a distinctly Western hymnal theme. In the final movement, strains of East and West...
