The only feature film directed by prolific TV writer turned producer Roy Huggins ('The Fugitive', 'The Rockford Files'). He does a good job on this moody, good-looking (courtesy of cameraman Charles Lawton) Randolph Scott vehicle with the usual group of Confederate soldiers who receive the disconcerting news that the war is over and (SPOILER COMING:) their side lost.
Scott's company comprises Frank Faylen, angel-faced Claude Jarman and ugly trigger-happy thug Lee Marvin. No prizes for guessing who gives Scott the biggest headache; to which Mother Nature adds her two cents worth in the form of thunder, lightning and pouring rain to add further atmosphere to the finale.
