Movie Info
After graduating from West Point, Jeb Stuart and George Custer are both stationed at Fort Leavenworth in Kansas. Once there, they find that the violent abolitionist John Brown has laid waste to the state, killing anyone who gets in the way of his anti-slavery crusade. While the duo must work together to battle the murderous revolutionary, they also come to blows over their competing love for Kit Carson Holliday.

Semi fictional account of Bleeding Kansas and the pursuit of John Brown is skilled filmmaking but useless as any kind of historical document. Still for fans of Flynn and the Warner stock company an enjoyable enterprise. Olivia's part is negilible, as far as her films with Errol go she's seen to much better advantage in Dodge City.

Along with the always magnetic Flynn and De Havilland pairing (and co-starring a forgettable ex-president) this curious piece about the pre-American Civil War days is definitively Southern in politics (the ones who want to free the slaves are the "bloodthirsty bad guys"!), making this less than a entertainment piece than a outright political tract for the Confederate point of view and (if it can be believed) slavery itself. At one point some slaves are heard to say "I want to go back to slavery..."!!! It's movies-as-propaganda with Michael Curtiz direction par excellence and Max Steiner contributing a rousing score. Raymond Massey's John Brown is the hot engine that drives this car. Bloody outrageous though the intention, the gist. Not as direct as Triumph of the Will but certainly with equal intention.
