Audience Member didn't care for this one Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Civil War drama,with love and an old enemy thrown , causing a long running feud between old friends to come between fighting the war and bad guys,A long film with some interesting moments,Interesting background afternoon viewing Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member A standard but sturdy western with all the crucial elements. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Cavalry western with Milland as a dishonourably discharged officer who re-enlists only to serve under the very man who wronged him. The Battle of Little Big Horn is referenced as a plot-line purely in the film's denouement, but other than that there is very little action to be had - apart from the snarling between the two antagonists in their shared scenes. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
