      ashley h Let Freedom Ring is an okay film. It is about a railroad owner who uses everything to get the land he needs for his new railroad cheaply. Nelson Eddy and Virginia Bruce give decent performances. The screenplay is a little slow in places. Jack Conway did an alright job directing this movie. I liked this motion pictures because of the drama and music.
