Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaRonald Reagan was a serious breeder of horses during this period of his career and insisted on riding his favorite mare in this film. The horse had to be expressed by railroad to the location, and according to co-star Rhonda Fleming, while the studio horses wilted in the desert, Reagan's mount was fresh for every take.
- GoofsMr. Delacourt mentions the amount of "red tape" in Washington. The movie takes place during the Civil War. The term "red tape" didn't come into use till after the war when veterans had to physically go to Washington DC to collect their pensions. The piles of personnel records were tied up with red ribbons (tape), thus the term came into use.

Featured review
Ronald Reagan was a great President, true. he was a decent horse-rider, and a very sweet, radiant personality. But as an actor, he was rather second-rate and very forgettable, indeed. Well, yes, you can watch his movies, turn it off and then easily forget what was in the movie ten minutes later/ This movie is a typical example - a very much of a period piece, with all the obvious errata goofs of that era - rather predictable plot, unrealistic love-part,typical portrayal of Indians, and some extremely cheap dialogs, which you can utter a second before a word spells out form a speaker's lips. Battle scenes are funny in fact, too. They have no suspense and deliver no thrill. A very good B-movie, with a very average casting and all the plot twists that you can imagine. Some sprinkle of humor often seems to be at odd with the general mood of the film, and very generic performance of all characters make this movie very lightweight, unserious and not memorable. Yup, Reagan grew to some grand things a bit later, smiling his way up. Here, even his smile is a bit of a lame duckie.
