A captured Rebel colonel (Joseph Cotten) and his men are posted at a Union commander's (Jeff Chandler) fort in Indian country.

Two Flags West is just a fair western, despite its big cast and handsome settings. All of the elements for greatness are there, but the whole thing stumbles into a muddy plot.

... an adult and thoughtful production that explores the conflicts of men who are both enemies and allies in the waning days of the Civil War.

Interesting take on Lincoln's decree in1893 that willing Confederates in prison camps could become Union soldiers. Some of these men were sent to to Indian wars, the subject of this fictional story. It is well acted, and is sympathetic to the plight of these men.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Two Flags West is a gritty film set during the post-Civil war years. It is about the North and South coming together to fight the Indians in New Mexico. Joseph Cotten and Linda Darnell give excellent performances. The screenplay is well written. Robert Wise does a great job directing this movie. I enjoyed this motion picture because of the action. Two Flags West is a must see.

Average picture with standard action. Linda Darnell is stuck in a part the actress stated that she didn't like, she was right it is a nothing that wastes her presence. For western fans it will do all others watch something else.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
