YVONNE DE CARLO,
HOWARD DUFF STAR
IN 'CALAMITY JANE'
"Calamity Jane and Sam Bass,”
Universal-International’s new Tech
nicolor film co-starring Yvonne De
Carlo and Howard Duff, opens to
night at the Capitol Theatre.
Based on the exploits of the two
historical outlaws, Calamity Jane
and Sam Bass, the film is an ex
citing story of romance and ac
tion depicting the fight of Jane and
Sam against the early western so
ciety that foreed them into a life
of lawlessness.
In the picture, Sam Bass, portray
ed by Howard Duff, shoots a man
who poisoned his horse and turns
outlaw with some pals and starts a
series of hold-ups throughout Texas.
Yvonne De Carlo, as Calamity
Jane, helps him out of numerous
scrapes, including jail, until Sam
and his gang walk into an ambush
while holding up a bank at Round
Rock.
Critically wounded, Sam gets Cal
amity to take him to Denton, Texas,
where he reveals that he has loved
Dorothy Hart, as Kathy, and Cal
amity realizes she never could have
won his love even though he had
escaped.
"Calamity Jane and Sam Bass” is
the fifth film turned out by the
team of Leonard Goldstein as Pro
ducer and George Sherman as di
rector.
The picture has Willard Parker as
the Sheriff and Lloyd Bridges as
Sam Bass’ pal and gang member,
while Housely Stevenson is the comic
chuck boss, Norman Lloyd the be
trayer, Marc Lawrence a crooked
banker and Roy Roberts the United
States Marshal.
Although the story takes place in
Texas .most of the Technicolor film
ing was done in Southern Utah,
and area similar to the Texas locale,
and one of the most beautiful scenic
spots in America.
Photography for “Calamity Jane
and Sam Bass” was done by Irving
Glassberg, while Melvin Levy and
Maurice Geraghty wrote the screen
play, based on an original story by
George Sherman.
