unclecharlie is right -- Little Big Horn. The story is about a cavalry unit trying to travel far and fast to warn General Custer that he's up against more Sioux warriers than he realizes. The detail is hampered by internal strife, desertion, terrain conditions, etc. In the end {they are wiped out by the Sioux / the Native Americans eliminate this threat (choose one)}.* At this writing I can not remember if this happens before or after {the slaughter of Custer's 7th Cavalry / the great Native American victory (choose one)}* at the title location.
Cast members Lloyd Bridges, Sheb Wooley and Hugh O'Brian all had TV series roles later in the 1950s. In the 80s Jim Davis had a key support role in the series Dallas.
Remade as Desert Hell in 1958. Lloyd Bridges also had a role in that version.
unclecharlie, it's yours.

TCM has this movie in their list, and also has DVDs. I don't recall ever having seen it since I got cable. The calvary's mission; they're under pressure to find Custer and his troops and warn him of a massave buildup of Sioux warriers.
-
Negative re those titles.
3.
Purely fiction, but set against a backdrop of an actual historic event.

Danny Devito,
currently working in an ongoing cable series, also worked in an earlier series, Taxi, with another currently-employed series actor --
Judd Hirsch.

At least three of the cast members had continuing roles in series television before the decade was out. Another had a key role in a 1980s series.
Cavalry in hostile territory, with an important mission.

lb19;
Correct, and its yours. Would just like to know, if you don't mind, how you arrived at the answer.
Which clue, etc.
-
"...but we are not, in the classical sense, man and wife."

More clues:
4) The cash-strapped couple are dodging hotel staff because an investment went bad, The cocoa
the man purchased for import at a profit is sitting on a dock in a foreign country because of a local
revolution.
5) They consider, and reject, the idea of selling the item. Then they consider hiding it, reporting it
stolen, and running an insurance scam. When it does disappear, each suspects the other of the
theft. The theft has a ripple effect, touching a lot of lives.
It's a 1991 release.

Negative re Hear No Evil.
Other threads in the story:
1) A committed but unmarried couple are unable to pay their hotel bill, and are dodging collectors.
2) A rather simple young man gets his hands on the item. A quite dangerous acquaintance learns
of the item's value, and is determined to get it.
3) A revealing conversation: A man calls his father on the phone. The audience hears only the son's side, as a man in his late thirties talks with the father he still calls "Sir".

Negative re Church. Stolen from a hotel room. English location.

I've been unavoidably absent for a few days, and was just catching up (107 Emails when I got on the net this morning!). I'd like to pose a question in the same vein involving a non-speaking person. I admired this film when I ran across it, but I haven't seen it in a long time.
1990s movie. A deaf-and-mute young woman steals an item of great value. This causes trouble for several people. Once the item is returned, she is asked why she stole it. She must write out
her answer, and another character reads it aloud: "Because it spoke to me. And I heard it."
The film?

Carl Reiner.

Evidently not the same performer. The imdb cast list for Bringing Up Baby lists one Judith Ford in the role of "Hatcheck Girl (Uncredited)". And Judith Ford's filmography lists a total of five titles; Wife is not one of those titles (all in 1937-38). Go to the cast list of My Favorite Wife, and there is no listing for "Secretary". You can find the name of the other actress, but you have to know the character's name. Just the character's job title won't do.
If you decide to pursue this further, good luck.
