...three principal characters (William Holden and Ernest Borgnine on one side, Robert Ryan heading the group out to stop them) are something of an exception to this. They seem to have more of ideal of what they are doing than the rest do, and Peckinpah shoots Holden and Borgnine in two-shot and has Ryan made up to look like Holden. They alone fight for dominance of the frame once the battle has begun, but they too are overcome once the battles get fully underway...

Soon after that caught on, Young & Rubicam hired an actress with a throaty voice, just like Gunilla's, to implore, "Put it on, put it all on" -an appeal for customers to buy Plymouths and load them with all manner of optional equipment. Eagle Shirtmakers' color-naming contest of five years ago-in which the winning entries included Foreseeable Fuchsia, God's Little Ochre and Hot Chestnut-was revived this spring by Young...
Nobody seems to be mad about the copycatting. The writer of the Noxzema ad, John Blumenthal of William Esty, says: "Just think, every time people hear that girl saying 'Put it all on,' they will remember the Noxzema girl saying Take...
