I loved this movie even though it is true Boggie was terribly miscast. But Scott is wonderful as the Rebel officer and Flynn is great, even poignant at times as the Union officer, particularly when they had scenes of them in the Rebel POW camp.

I loved this movie even though it is true Boggie was terribly miscast. But Scott is wonderful as the Rebel officer and Flynn is great, even poignant at times as the Union officer, particularly when they had scenes of them in the Rebel POW camp. I also liked Mirima Hopkin's version of "Battle Cry Of Freedom." And the comic relief is actually generates a few laughs. I have always felt Errol Flynn was underrated as an actor. Check out "Objective Burma" and you will see what I mean. It is also hard to find a Civil War movie that is sympathetic to the North back in the 40's and 50's. For some reason, Hollywood always made the South seem so much more gallant and brave. Maybe they were worried about their Soutghern markets. I am interested in any opinions on this movie.
