I'm not so sure about that -

Late in the summer of 1950 – at the tender age of eight – I was introduced to 'A Ticket to Tomahawk' (starring Emma Sweeney) at the theater next door to my aunt & uncle's home while on vacation in Pennsylvania.  IIRC, neither Anne Baxter nor even Marilyn Monroe (uncredited in the movie) made any impression whatsoever on me at the time, but the fistfight on car-tops along the high line – and Emma – certainly did . . .
