. For whatever the reason, the film-going public has stipulated that a celluloid head stomping, flogging, blinding, dismemberment, or crucifixion is an essential, nay unavoidable, rite of cinematic passage, and that it will not canonise a rising star until he has officially taken his lumps on screen

. Self-serving guide Satipo warns: "Senior, nobody's come out of there alive, please." The two of them cautiously enter the wet, dark, dripping interior of the tubular passage with thick spider webs. Partway down the twisting passageway, Satipo signals Indy that he has three deadly tarantulas crawling on the back of his jacket. The giant bowling ball rock tumbles, roars and rolls in his direction - perfectly sized to fit the passageway

The Films of Jacques Tourneur
. Canyon Passage Tourneur worked in a huge variety of genres, although rarely in comedy or musicals. Canyon Passage (1946) was his first major Western. The Micro-Landscapes The community in Canyon Passage is laid out in an unusual way for a Western. This is not one unified passageway. He will also lead us through many unusual passages in the bombed out city of Frankfurt. At the airport, Tourneur repeatedly shoots down the long central passage of the airport. First we see a straightforward look down the passage

. But just look at what he did: The Power and the Glory (the 1933 precursor to Citizen Kane), Viva Villa! (Howard Hawks' part of it, in Mexico), Algiers, Manhattan Melodrama, Transatlantic (in which his deep-focus cinematography won the art director an Oscar), The Rose Tattoo (his own first Oscar, 1955), Air Force, Objective Burma! (the night battle on the mountain), Yankee Doodle Dandy, This Property Is Condemned (the color in the interiors might be Thomas Hart Benton), The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Kings Row, City for Conquest, The Oklahoma Kid, Body and Soul (donning rollerskates to shoot the boxing scenes), Mark of the Vampire, Hangmen Also Die! (going Mitteleuropeen for Fritz Lang), Passage to Marseille, He Ran All the Way, Seconds (he didn’t like the fish-eye lens John Frankenheimer demanded, but used it like nobody before or since), The Criminal Code, The Hard Way (the gritty sunlight in that coaltown), The Strawberry Blonde, Hud (his second Oscar, 1963)
Anabasis, or March Up Country
. From this place they endeavoured to force a passage into Cilicia. During their passage over the mountains into the plain, two companies of Menon's army were lost. To force a passage here would be impossible, so narrow was the pass itself, with the fortification walls stretching down to the sea, and precipitous rocks above; while both fortresses were furnished with gates. It was the existence of this pass which had induced Cyrus to send for the fleet, so as to enable him to lead a body of hoplites inside and outside the gates; and so to force a passage through the enemy, if he were guarding the Syrian gate, as he fully expected to find Abrocomas doing with a large army. Olympiodorus and the Scholiast both think that Plato here refers to Xenophon and this passage of the "Anabasis." Grote thinks it very probable that Plato had in his mind Xenophon (either his "Anabasis" or personal communications with him). Thus the passage was looked upon as a thing miraculous; the river had manifestly retired before the face of Cyrus, like a courtier bowing to his future king
Herodotus Book 2
. In its passage over the inland parts of Libya, the sun does this: as the air is always clear in that region, the land warm, and the winds cool, the sun does in its passage exactly as it would do in the summer passing through the middle of the heaven: [2] it draws the water to itself, and having done so, expels it away to the inland regions, and the winds catch it and scatter and dissolve it; and, as is to be expected, those that blow from that country, the south and the southwest, are the most rainy of all winds. [2] But were the stations of the seasons changed, so that the south wind and the summer had their station where the north wind and winter are now set, and the north wind was where the south wind is now -- if this were so, the sun, when driven from mid-heaven by the winter and the north wind, would pass over the inland parts of Europe as it now passes over Libya, and I think that in its passage over all Europe it would have the same effect on the Ister as it now does on the Nile
Plutarch's Alexander
. However, he persisted obstinately to gain the passage, and at last with much ado making his way up the banks, which were extremely muddy and slippery, he had instantly to join in a mere confused hand-to-hand combat with the enemy, before he could draw up his men, who were still passing over, into any order. Encouraged by this accident, he proceeded to reduce the maritime parts of Cilicia and Phoenicia, and passed his army along the sea-coasts of Pamphylia with such expedition that many historians have described and extolled it with that height of admiration, as if it were no less than a miracle, and an extraordinary effect of divine favour, that the waves which usually come rolling in violently from the main, and hardly ever leave so much as a narrow beach under the steep, broken cliffs at any time uncovered, should on a sudden retire to afford him passage. Menander, in one of his comedies, alludes to this marvel when he says- "Was Alexander ever favoured more? Each man I wish for meets me at my door, And should I ask for passage through the sea, The sea I doubt not would retire for me." But Alexander himself in his epistles mentions nothing unusual in this at all, but says he went from Phaselis, and passed through what they call the Ladders
