    already have working for him. Burdette's men cut the town off to prevent Chance from getting Joe into Rio Bravo (1959) more secure surroundings, and then the hired guns come in, waiting around for their chance to break him out of jail. Chance has to wait for the United States marshal to show up, in six days, his only help from Stumpy (Walter Brennan), a toothless, cantankerous old deputy with a bad leg who guards the jail, and Dude (Dean Martin), his former deputy, who's spent the last two years stumbling around in a drunken stupor over a woman that left him. Chance's friend, trail boss Pat Wheeler (Ward Bond), arrives at the outset of the siege and tries to help, offering the services of himself and his drovers as deputies, which Chance turns down, saying they're not professionals and would be too worried about their families to be good at anything except being targets for Burdette's men; but Chance does try to enlist the services of Wheeler's newest employee, a callow- looking young gunman named Colorado Ryan (Ricky Nelson), who politely turns him down, saying he prefers to mind his own business. In the midst of all of this tension, Feathers (Angie Dickinson), a dance hall entertainer, arrives in town and nearly gets locked up by Chance for cheating at cards, until he finds out that he was wrong and that she's not guilty - - this starts a verbal duel between the two of them Theatrical release poster (Wikipedia) that grows more sexually intense as the movie progresses and she finds herself in the middle of Chance's fight.

  • Peter Graves

    Peter Graves

    Peter Graves Froding, Burns, Scott and Carlyle In February 1890 the Swedish poet Gustaf Froding, at that time convalescing in a nerve sanatorium in Schleswig, wrote a respectful letter to Professor Carl Rupert Nyblom, Professor of lEsthetics in the University of Uppsala. He wrote:1 24 Feb 90 Dear Professor, As you can see, enclosed herewith are a number of translations of foreign poets - Bums, Chamisso, Lenau, Poe - which I was intending to include in a collection of poems that will possibly be published. However, I know that you, Professor, have translated some poems by these authors, although I can't remember which, and since I don't want to make myself appear to be a plagiariser, I have taken the liberty - you might possibly think it pushiness ­ of contacting you to request information. My translations are, admittedly, no more than trifles but it would be despicable if they were to appear in print - irrespective of whether they are new of their kind - as second editions of old familiar things... I ask your forgiveness if I am being discourteous in requesting this, and sign myself, Humbly yours, Gustaf Fr6ding, Dr Kahlbaum's Sanatorium, Gorlitz, Schleswig. [Brev 1, 173-74] As with a good deal else that Froding did, the innocent letter misfired. He received in return a postcard from Nyblom pointing out, not unkindly, that 'the only surprising thing about your letter was that, since it had insufficient stamps, I had to pay double postage. But my boys are stamp collectors 7 NORTHERN STUDIES· 32 and, since the four stamps were of a new variety, one thing ba~ances out the other'.
