l BY GENE HANDSAKER
HOLLYWOOD. — “Yellow
Sky” is an exciting yarn about
routlaws battling the blazing salt
flats for existence and each other
for Anne Baxter. In both con
tests Gregory Peck is the lead
’ing contender, -
They’re renegade Civil War
veterans, these bank-robbing
toughies. Fleeing a posse, they
take out across a 70-mile stretch
of treacherous, sun-baked sand—
;Peck, Richard Widmark, and five
others. There wasn’t much make
‘believe about that sequence, It
'was filmed in California’s Death
'Valley last summer amid temper
atures of 140 to 132. At S. P. C.
A. request, the horses were work
ed only three hours a day, but
.the actors toiled eight. Sweat,
like the men’s beards, was real.
l By the time these dehydrated
wrecks collapse at last in a cool
lspring, you'd slip out to lobby for
a sympathetic swig at the drink
'ing fountain if this weren’t such
a compelling movie. The spring
is in a ghost mining town whose
only inhabitants are a hard-eyed
gal in pants (Miss Baxter) and
her grandfather (James Barton).
With food (appropriated from
these two) and rest by the spring,
life returns to the émaciated out
laws. And with it, grim ogling of
Miss Baxter, especially by John
|Russell. Peck, the lanky *leader,
who had a proper upbringing be
lfore going astray, tries to keep
his men in line—partly so he
can have a better view of Anne
himself.
A hand-to-hand fight in the
spring, a gun battle by day
among hiliside rocks, and another
by night on the settlers’ prop
erty, build up some ripsnorting
suspense. The other badmen are
played by Robert Arthur, Henry
Morgan (not the radio one),
Charles Kemper and Robert
Adler.
“The Decision of Christopher
Blake” is one of those movies
that make you a little embar
rassed for the high-priced actors
and technicians involved in such
flimsy business. This one sets out
to prove what everybody knows:
divorce can be awfully tough on
the kids.
The famous Green Mosque at
Brussa, Turkey, got its name from
the thousands of green clay tiles
used to decorate its outer wall. l
