A classic war movie and one of the

A classic war movie and one of the few Civil War films. It's crazy how few Civil War movies there are compared to WWII films. Everything here is really well done and very good direction by John Ford. It feels like a Western Adventure more than a Civil War flick at times. The way it's shot, the stars, and just the general pacing and feeling is very simliar to a Howard Hawks/Ford flick. Holden and Wayne are really good together. This starts out really strong but sort of slows down once it focuses on the girl. Than it starts focusing on more subplot related things and it just slows things down in general. I wish it would've focused solely on the dynamic between Holden and Wayne. But to it's credit it's never incoherent or unfocused either. So I don't really know how you fix that. The theme song is extremely catchy but everything else isn't. Regardless anyone who is a fan of Ford, any actors in this, war movies, or even Golden Era westerns should check this out. It should get more notority than it does.
