Clorinda K 09/08/2024 Good movie for it's time. It's a love story set before and during the Civil War. Clark Gable, Sidney Poitier and Yonne DeCarlo all give soild performance. See more Steve D 07/06/2023 Solid because it really doesn't pull its punches. See more 08/05/2018 this movie had a hollywood/non hollywood ending and i don't want to give it away. it was better than most civil war movies of that era, which were usually slanted to sympathize with the traitors to the u.s.a. this one leaned a little that way when they showed union troops hanging plantation owners, which was diametrically opposite general grant's orders. i liked this movie.

See more 11/20/2014 Another civil war film for Clark Gable to get his teeth into, although Yvonne De Carlo undertakes most of the emotional parts. It's a pretty good effort centring around the final years of the slave trade in America, although there's a Hollywood righteousness about the whole production that puts slightly more effort into a happy conclusion than the issues themselves - although this was pretty normal for this period in cinema.
