of African-Americans. Naturally, Reconstruction is all bad, as usual in
Hollywood Westerns, and Trotti gives us uppity darkies strutting insolently while

Music was by David Buttolph, Cyril
Mockridge and Alfred Newman, some of it recycled from Young Mr. Lincoln two years before, and rather grand. Two DPs were
credited, Ernest Palmer and Ray Rennahan, and the color photography of
California locations is often classy, though there are too many unconvincing studio
'exteriors' and Fox made much use of those fake horses with back projection
(they copied MGM in that too).

(CNN) -- Special counsel Robert Mueller's office has spoken with both Attorney General Jeff Sessions and former FBI Director James Comey, it was revealed Tuesday.
Sessions was questioned for several hours last week as part of the investigation into Russia's meddling in the 2016 election. Investigators spoke with Comey last year, sources told CNN.
The interviews, part of the investigation into Russia's meddling in the election and whether President Donald Trump obstructed justice since taking office, are major developments in Mueller's investigation.
