What happens

Night Passage is a 1957 American Western film directed by James Neilson and starring James Stewart and Audie Murphy. The film was the first American production to use the Technirama process by Technicolor. This process helped make the blue skies crisper and brighten the autumn footage photographed by cinematographer William H. Daniels. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
