Enredo
Você sabia?
- CuriosidadesThe failure of the original copyright holder to renew the film's copyright resulted in it falling into public domain, meaning that virtually anyone could duplicate and sell a VHS/DVD copy of the film. Therefore, many of the versions of this film available on the market are either severely (and usually badly) edited and/or of extremely poor quality, having been duped from second- or third-generation (or more) copies of the film.
- Erros de gravaçãoThere was no such thing as a "12 pound Brooke gun". Brooke guns were produced for use by the Confederate Navy and in some forts. They were never used as field guns by the Confederate field forces. Brooke rifles came in 6.4", 7", and 8". Brooke smoothbores came in 8", 10", and 11". None of these fired a round as small as 12 pounds. The guns shown appear to be 12-pound Napoleons.

The king of cool
Make no mistake, Guy Madison invented the word "cool". Any dictionary dated before his birth that has the word "cool" in it, is a forgery.
Knowing this helps to cast him in the correct role. He was meant to be the "cool" character who makes sense out of situations in which lesser characters lose their heads.
Here, he is perfectly cast. He is the fourth character, actually, in the love triangle, which is where he does best.
The southern belle's husband appears only briefly, and is afterwards only spoken of in his endeavors in this Civil War adventure.
The other member of the triangle is an artillery officer for the South, who resembles Gable in looks, but in character is more like John Wayne.
Guy Madison plays the Union artillery officer opposing him. He is also a friend of all three of the other characters.
The story is a familiar one, one that has been made many times since, of Confederates on a mountain, trying to buy time for their army.
What really makes this film special is that it could have been cliché, but it avoids all of the clichés. The characters are probably much too believable and three dimensional for the modern beavis or butthead, but easy for most people to relate to and feel some empathy for. This is not for the IMDb bubble boy.
The soldiers are especially three dimensional. One Union soldier whom we expect to be the usual cliché jerk, actually becomes a very sympathetic character in this drama.
The events seem to be written as they occur. Nothing looks contrived, so when we find the coincidence of the friends meeting in battle on opposite sides, it becomes the only coincidence, making it quite credible, as in a world where there are a million possible coincidences an hour, one is sure to happen.
It is the natural flow and non judgmental occurrences, where the chips land wherever they may land, that make this special.
Excellent war Western.
