WATT DISNEY'S Fll WjHlllTP I I sentences that screen writer Niven Busch has been able to gather together in his 81 -minute script. SUCH DIALOGUE Typical of these hackneyed phrases is Miss Stanwyck's observation upon meeting MacMurray after a five-year absence. "You've changed, Wes." "Nobody stays the same," answers MacMurray solemnly.

Or on another occasion when MacMurray evaluates himself: "I'm not sentimental any more. I'm strong because I can go my own way." Reminiscent of Walter Van Til-burg Clark's "The Ox-Bow Inci-cent" and his own "Duel in the Sun," Busch relates the useless life of Wes Anderson, the cattle rustler by night, known as the "moonlighter."
