      Audience Member Yes, I will recommend this one James Welch, Henderson, Arkansas August 26, 2023 Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Direction by Raoul Walsh and a score by Max Steiner can't improve on the weary plot. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Dull western about Errol Flynn as a silver miner who build up a large mining operation only to be challenged by a cartel of other miners. You'd expect better from director Raoul Walsh and a game supporting cast that includes Ann Sheridan, but it's all a pretty uninspiring story. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member ok historical western Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Not one of Errol Flynn best movies. Flynn became a star in swashbuckling movies. But being an Alcoholic and Opium Addict he died at the age of 50. His autopsy said he had the body of a 75 year old. A testimony to hard living. This film was late in his career and he was no longer the swashbuckler. In some scenes he looked unsteady as if he was trying to hold himself up. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member another good one from the WB Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
