The ceremony over, he takes off into the wilderness alone, followed by Mary. Anthony Steel, Peter Finch and Diane Cilento star in "PASSAGE HOME." The pageantry, intrigue and conflict which characterized Mexico under the rule of the ill-fated Emperor Maximilian supplies the background of "VERA CRUZ," in Technicolor and SuperScope. Gary Cooper and Burt Lancaster portray two rough, tough, gunslingers who are ready to sell their services to the highest bidder in the Mexican revolution of 1866.
