In one of his better westerns, Errol Flynn leads a ragtag team of Confederate soldiers west to do Robert E. Lee’s bidding. Along the way, he rescues a damsel in distress from marauding Indians, only to learn she’s betrothed to a Union officer whose troops are on the lookout for her. Think Lifeboat on a mountainside. I enjoyed the relationships between the Union and Confederate characters — it wasn’t as black and white (or blue and grey?) as you’d imagine. I was also surprised by the emotional climax. Supporting cast includes Slim Pickens in his feature film debut.
