(Michael Curtiz, US 1940, 121 min., 35mm)

Errol Flynn and director Curtiz (Casablanca) follow-up their successful 1939 Western Dodge City with this lively Civil War-era action spectacular. Flynn plays a Union officer assigned to steal a shipment of gold from a Confederate commander (Randolph Scott). The great supporting cast includes Miriam Hopkins as a Southern spy posing as a dancehall girl and Humphrey Bogart as a Mexican bandito with a very strange accent!
