1st watched 10/13/2001 - 6 out of 10(Dir-Raoul Walsh): Civil war type action/adventure with John Wayne adding his usual charm to take away from limitations or usualness of the plot. This movie is at it's best when it is played out like a romantic comedy with Wayne trying to win over Claire Trever despite his lacking in book knowledge which is owned in abundance by his rival played by Walter Pidgeon. When the story starts turning into a kind of "Gone With the Wind"-type story with the action taking over it becomes less interesting. One of the early gems of Wayne's career because it not only has his charm but it works as an entire movie and has a very good supporting cast.
