Well, this film comes outside of the Fifties era, but it’s main stars were still very active into that decade and beyond.

The film is a great showcase for the wonderful talents of Michael Curtiz, Errol Flynn, Ronald Reagan and Olivia de Havilland.

The final rescue scenes are great – those battle trumpets can still cause a chill to go up the spine.

It is a film with great entertainment value.

Ronald Reagan was very much underestimated as an actor much as Victor Mature was at a similar time.

Ronald Reagan was in some good films – he was teamed up again with Errol Flynn in ‘Desperate Journey’ and another film later was, of course, ‘The Hasty Heart’ made in England with Richard Todd in the leading role

RAYMOND MASSEY is especially memorable as John Brown. His earnest and single-minded portrayal of a madman-with-a-quest is the great stand-out of this film. The fiery eyes are almost hypnotic in its concentration.

Ronald Reagan and Errol Flynn are top rate.

These are actors that for better or worse will always stand out from the Hollywood crowd with their own special brand of something indescribable and timeless.
