...ravine. Miraculously, he lands in a bed of quicksand; and on hearing his affectionate call, his horse trots over, throws him a rein, and pulls him out. It is certain that no writers in Hollywood, save those with especial creative talent, were permitted to work on the scenario of this film...
...pension from the company. Since this raised an obvious conflict-of-interests issue (Beeson was still technically in the employ of a company that could be affected by his NLRB votes), further committee hearings were called. When he got up to play out his Rome-burning scenario, Beeson promised to resign outright from the company and to renounce its contributions to his pension (adding up to $4,424).

In The Golden Coach, as in The River, he has stitched (with the help of his nephew Claude Renoir, who supervised the photography in both pictures) a Joseph's coat of heart-catching colors. The colors weave and flow in a rhythm that carries one image vigorously into the next. The flow is swept along, too, by the apt and fetching musical score of Antonio Vivaldi...
