The film delivers a lively civil war story featuring Errol Flynn as "Bradford," an escaped Union soldier tasked with stopping a Confederate scheme to move $5 million in gold bullion, intended to bolster the South’s finances. The person orchestrating this operation is revealed to be “Irby” (Randolph Scott), Bradford's former jailer, setting off a pursuit between them as they both strive for victory. Humphrey Bogart portrays "Murrell," a cunning bandit with his own intentions regarding the gold, further complicating matters. Miriam Hopkins provides an energetic performance, and director Michael Curtiz crafts a compelling adventure filled with activity, solid lines, and characters possessing depth and even a sense of morality. The story moves toward an ending that feels somewhat lacking in genuine danger. Nevertheless, a capable ensemble cast is complemented by Max Steiner’s dependable score and competent cinematography, elevating the film beyond simply showcasing Flynn's talents. It proved to be enjoyable.
