What's not to love? Trapdoor Springfields
Firing cannon by match
Mix-matched uniforms
Made up tactics and formations YouTube link I'd say I'm sorry for inflicting this on you. But I'm not. :) |

1872 regulation uniforms, too, IIRC. I know that the original film with Audie Murphy had them. |

I remember seeing this on TV when I was a kid! Ah, made-for-TV movies. Jeff |

I had to suffer watching this in school in 1974. As a tweenager, I had a hard time watching it back then. I do not wish to relive those painful memories. A horrid movie. Of course, all my teachers were peace-loving anti-war throw-tomatoes-at-veterans nutjobs back then. Hmmm…sounds a bit like 2017…. |

I haven't seen this one before, but I don't think that the original one wasn't as bad as this! |

No, the 1951 version with Audie Murphy is pretty good. |

The Audie Murphy version is the only one worth watching, IMO. Its a truncated version of the book, but I think it captures the essence of the book. |
