Most of the time, though, Ford scatters his beleaguered redskins listlessly across a 70-mm. Super Panavision landscape, showing twice the width but little of the scope that distinguished such Ford classics as Stagecoach. Perhaps he feels alien to Indians who don't come over the hill in war paint. The make-believe Cheyennes appear somewhat out of it themselves.

The effect of this distortion is to make the street appear to be about 25 feet, curb to curb, instead of its actual 17 feet...
Napoleon's Width. What rubs salt in the wound is that the French claim to have invented the automobile, either in 1873, when one Amedée Bollée built a steam car that was driven from Paris to Bordeaux, or in 1891, when Rene Panhard and Emile Levassor placed a German Daimler motor on a chassis and thus created the first true auto. France remained the center of the automotive world until World War I, when the U.S. forged ahead. But the ardor for cars has never dimmed, and with today's prosperity, French automakers sell...
