|
9834_1
|
Joan Taylor. A U.S. Cavalry lieutenant is assigned to deliver a peace treaty to a powerful Indian
|
9834_2
|
chief, but two Indians have vowed to kill the officer before he completes his mission.
|
9834_3
|
The film was shot in Pathecolor and filmed on location in Death Valley National Park.

Plot
|
9834_5
|
The pre-credit sequence of the film starts out with Bureau of Indian Affairs Commissioner Kirby and
|
9834_6
|
the last survivor of his US Cavalry escort shot and scalped by Taslik (Keith Larsen) and his squaw
|
9834_7
|
Wanima (Joan Taylor).
|
9834_8
|
The film proper begins with Lt. Billings (Robert Stack) leading his patrol, that has escorted Cpl
|
9834_9
|
Hamilton (Charles Nolte), a cartographer who has been making maps of the area. On the way back to
|
9834_10
|
the fort they are met by a messenger, who brings orders that they are to meet Commissioner Kirby
|
9834_11
|
(Richard H. Cutting) and his party at a trading post in order to deliver a recently signed Indian
|
9834_12
|
treaty from Washington to the chief of the local tribe. The messenger gives the treaty to the
|
9834_13
|
Lieutenant, who commandeers him to join his patrol. The patrol, who are unaware of the fate of
|
9834_14
|
Kirby and his party, have nine days to get the treaty to the chief, lest a new uprising start.
|
9834_15
|
At the trading post is Taslik, who offers to lead the patrol to the chief. Taslik is wearing war
|
9834_16
|
paint that he explains is from his killing members of a rival tribe who have trespassed on his
|
9834_17
|
tribe's land.
|
9834_18
|
Unknown to the patrol, Taslik and Wanima, who is shadowing the patrol, are strongly against the
|
9834_19
|
peace treaty. The two sabotage the patrol's supplies at every turn in various undetected ways. On
|
9834_20
|
their journey the patrol discovers the remains of Commissioner Kirby's escort.
|
9834_21
|
The patrol finally get wise to Taslik when they discover that he has led them in a giant circle
|
9834_22
|
looking for water. With time rapidly vanishing, Lt. Billings collects all the remaining water of
|
9834_23
|
the rapidly diminishing patrol to fill one water bottle. This is given to one of the troopers, who
|
9834_24
|
is to make his way overland to the Indian village while the rest of the men conserve their strength
|
9834_25
|
by traveling only at night. Wanima ambushes the trooper and kills him but is wounded herself and
|
9834_26
|
becomes unconscious.
|
9834_27
|
At night the patrol discovers what has happened, but Billings refuses to kill Wanima. This causes
|
9834_28
|
discontent among the patrol, who have lost other members through poisoned water and suicide. Wanima
|
9834_29
|
agrees to lead the patrol to water but leads them to an abandoned gold mine, creating further
|
9834_30
|
discontent. After a brief struggle between the troopers, Wanima, and Billings, Wanima resents
|
9834_31
|
leading them to water. With renewed strength and the knowledge of the gold, some remaining troopers
|
9834_32
|
plot to collect the gold and flee. When discovered a shootout occurs, ultimately only Billings and
|
9834_33
|
Wanima survive, finally arriving at the village to deliver the treaty.

|
War Paint was the first film of Howard W. Koch and Aubrey Schenck's Bel-Air Productions, who were
|
9834_42
|
initially signed to do three films for United Artists. As Schenck was then under contract to RKO
|
9834_43
|
Pictures, he did not have his name on the screenplay credits, though he initially wrote the story.
|
9834_44
|
Schenck recalled that when it looked as though the film financing wouldn't come in on time, Robert
|
9834_45
|
Stack offered to provide the money himself.
|
9834_46
|
The initial draft of the screenplay featured a mercy killing that the Production Code of America
|
9834_47
|
objected to.

The Winfield Statewide Cup was an Australian rules football tournament held in Tasmania, Australia
|
9835_1
|
between the top twenty-one (21) major football clubs across Tasmania from the three major
|
9835_2
|
footballing bodies across the state (at the time), the TANFL, the NTFA and the NWFU.
|
9835_3
|
The tournament was played in a five-round format held prior to the regular season proper, over a
|
9835_4
|
period of seven weeks between 29 March and 17 May 1980.
|
9835_5
|
Origins
|
9835_6
|
The Winfield Statewide Cup competition came to fruition after discussions had been continuing for
|
9835_7
|
several years, as far back as 1972, mostly from TANFL executives and leading players and coaches,
|
9835_8
|
in wanting to expand the TANFL into a statewide competition to try to improve the perceived ailing
|
9835_9
|
standard of football across the state in recent years and disappointing performances of Tasmanian
|
9835_10
|
teams at Interstate level, notably Tasmania's disastrous displays at the 1969 and 1972 Australian
|
9835_11
|
National Football Carnivals which was causing the state's football reputation much harm and placing
|
9835_12
|
in jeopardy Tasmania's hopes of gaining Division One status within the Australian National Football
|
9835_13
|
Congress (and the large increase in funding the sport would ultimately receive from the ANFC as a
|
9835_14
|
result of attaining that status), this coincided with a disappointing loss to Queensland at
|
9835_15
|
Ulverstone in early 1980.
|
9835_16
|
The calls had grown stronger from within the TANFL after the classic 1975 State Premiership decider
|
9835_17
|
between Glenorchy and North Launceston (described by many old-timers as one of the best games of
|
9835_18
|
football ever seen in Hobart) and after the State Premiership was finally brought to an end in 1978
|
9835_19
|
in favour of sending a Tasmanian team to play interstate, the TANFL, by then seeking all control of
|
9835_20
|
Australian Rules Football within Tasmania ordered all clubs from the NTFA and the NWFU to
|
9835_21
|
participate in the tournament alongside their TANFL counterparts.
|
9835_22
|
Due to the perceived dogmatic approach by the TANFL in regard to its treatment of Northern &
|
9835_23
|
Coastal clubs, the final straw came when North Launceston had its home Semi Final replay against
|
9835_24
|
Clarence switched from York Park to North Hobart Oval by the TANFL in an effort to maximise the
|
9835_25
|
crowd attendance.
|
9835_26
|
Despite the uproar from the North over the decision, a crowd of 4,758 attended (the York Park match
|
9835_27
|
attracted 2,070 the previous week) and the Robins lost in the dying seconds by 2-points.
|
9835_28
|
The Hobart Football Club, who had finished last in the TANFL in 1978 and 1979, rose from mediocrity
|
9835_29
|
under new coach Paul Sproule and took out the Winfield Statewide Cup beating Clarence in the Grand
|
9835_30
|
Final by 29-points at North Hobart Oval on 17 May 1980 in a dour, defensive game.
|
9835_31
|
On the same day, Glenorchy handed North Launceston a shock 77-point defeat at York Park in the
|
9835_32
|
playoff for third and fourth place.
|
9835_33
|
Despite some very good football displayed, the Winfield Statewide Cup failed to capture the
|
9835_34
|
football public's attention which resulted in poor crowds and a financial loss for the League.
|
9835_35
|
Cigarette company Winfield sponsored the tournament to the tune of A$37,500 with a view to
|
9835_36
|
increasing that to A$50,000 for the tournament the following year (which was ultimately not held).
|
9835_37
|
In the aftermath of this tournament the TANFL planned to stage another Winfield Statewide Cup in
|
9835_38
|
1981 with a view to formulating a full TFL Statewide League competition in 1982.
|
9835_39
|
However, at a meeting of the three main bodies in Launceston in August 1980, the NTFA and NWFU
|
9835_40
|
voted against the proposal believing it not to be in the best interests of football in the North.
