      Fernando F. Croce CinePassion Cukor never loses sight of the theatricality which infuses both the fanciful incarnations of the saltimbanques and the genre conventions of the Western Sep 6, 2009 Full Review Michael E. Grost Classic Film and Television Strange mix of show-biz saga and Western, inventively styled.
