      In the 1956 Dominant rerelease Randolph Scott was given top billing with Humphrey Bogart as co-star. The names of Errol Flynn and Miriam Hopkins were demoted beneath the title.
    • Goofs
      When Julia Hayne meets with Lincoln on April 8, 1865 in order to get a pardon for the Errol Flynn character, Lincoln tells her that he would be pardoned because Lee was going to surrender to Grant the next day at Appomattox Court House in Virginia, ending the war. However, Lee only agreed to meet Grant after his army was repulsed on the morning of April 9 trying to break through the Union lines and escape, and no specific site for the surrender was arranged until the afternoon. Lincoln learned about the surrender after it happened and could not possibly have known the details about the the historic event the day before. in any event, Lee's surrender did not represent the end the war since other Southern armies were still in the field and fighting continued until May 1865.
    • Quotes

      Vance Irby: Remember, when we meet, we've never seen each other before. Then the Federals can't suspect.

      Julia Hayne: Oh, I'm an expert at that now. Treating friends like strangers and enemies like friends.

    FLYNN TO THE RESCUE...!
    Errol Flynn reteams w/his steady director in crime Michael Curtiz to tell this Civil War story where a band of Union soldiers are on the hunt of some Rebs who have stolen some gold w/the explicit intention of shoring up the coffers for the Confederacy. The off beat tale works due its hunter/hunted paradigm w/the action sequences shot w/flavor & zest. Look for Gilligan's Island Skipper's father (Alan Hale) & the baddie played by Humphrey Bogart (sporting a Mexican accent).
