Tossup

In Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, Pepa passes out dubbing a scene in this film in which a man implores, “lie to me.” Truffaut praised the saturation that resulted from this film’s use of Republic Pictures’ cheap Trucolor process, (-5[1])including a scene in which two characters lean on a fence before a brilliant sunset and discuss the savagery of posses. In this film, a sandstone hill forms the back of a saloon (-5[1])where a (*) woman confronts a lynch mob by playing piano in a white dress. In this film, Bart hides out above a waterfall with the Dancin’ Kid, who is blamed for a stagecoach robbery by the rancher Emma Small. For 10 points, Mercedes McCambridge and Joan Crawford star (10[1])as Old West rivals in what Nicholas Ray film titled for a musical cowboy? ■END■ (10[1]0[2])
