This is a good American Civil War adventure film full of bravado and action. William Holden and a one-eyed Richard Widmark turn in credible and likeable performances as reluctant partners in a raid for Union cattle. It also features Janice Rule, a foppish Patrick O'Neal and a bawdy Victoria Shaw. There are some good skirmish sequences and an interesting plot containing some witty dialogue. Some of the plantation sequences are a little reminiscent of John Ford's THE HORSE SOLDIERS also with Holden. It contains an adequate score composed by Johnny Green of RAINTREE COUNTY distinction and beautiful photography by Joseph MacDonald. The stalwart Edward Dmytryk leisurely directed it for pure cinematic enjoyment. This is the Goodtimes version of this film and the transfer leaves much to be desired.
