Review
John Wayne grabs centre stage as the ruthless Colonel Marlowe in this powerful Civil War Western based on the Grierson Raid, when Union troops cut a swathe deep into the heart of the Confederacy to choke off vital supply lines. A thoughtful and compelling film on the futility of war from the master of the genre, John Ford.
