Paul B @RT84584029 02/18/2025 Needs to be preserved it's a movie that has little pieces of brilliance and tripe but enjoyable See more 05/02/2020 Nothing compares to the warm feelings from an old great movie done in the wonderful tradition of old Hollywood. Man, I miss these movies! See more 09/16/2017 Not considered an "important" film at the time but it should have been. 42 year old duke and 57 year old Ollie , both giants (sorry babe) in their genres , get together to craft a very credible historical drama with some entertaining comedy bits. It is wonderful to watch hardy in a good movie after spending most of the 40s in mediocre at best attempts to recapture past glories. Actually , he became friends w Wayne at doing "what Price Glory" for a local charity in Los Angeles . So we can say Ollie teamed up with the best in his career! See more 07/18/2017 One of my favorite black and white film, only problem is it should have shown him going back to Kentucky with his girl cause ain't no way he would stay out of Kentucky to live somewhere else with her, he would leave her and go back if he she wouldn't go See more 07/10/2014 well ummm just seen this movie 4 the 1st time n think that this is a good movie 2 watch.......its got a good cast of actors/actressess throughout this movie......i think that john wayne (.R.I.P.), vera ralston (.R.I.P.), philip dorn (.R.I.P.), oliver hardy (.R.I.P.), marie windsor (.R.I.P.), play good roles/parts throughout this movie.....i think that the director of this western/action/adventure/classics movie had done a good job of directing this movie because you never know what 2 expect throguhout this movie.....its got a good soundtrack throughout this movie.......i think that this is such a classics movie 2 watch...... This is one of only three times that Hardy worked without partner Stan Laurel after they'd teamed up as Laurel and Hardy. Hardy also appeared with Harry Langdon in Zenobia (1939) and with Bing Crosby in Riding High (1950). It was the only time that Hardy appeared in a film with John Wayne, though the two had worked together onstage a year earlier in a touring charity production of What Price Glory? starring Wayne, Ward Bond, and Maureen O'Hara, and directed by John Ford. hroughout the film, Breen's soldiers sing: Only six hundred miles more to go Only six hundred miles more to go And if we can just get lucky We will end up in Kentucky Only six hundred miles more to go When the song is first heard, there are eight hundred miles to go. its got good fight scenes throughout this movie.......i think that this is such a cult classics western movie 2 watch its got good fight scenes throughout this movie......i think that this is such a classics movie 2 watch its got a good cast throughout this movie.....its such an enjoyable classics western movie 2 watch with a good cast throughout this movie..... See more 04/05/2014 This movie has some of the worst reviews and comments on any John Wayne movie, but it is one of my favorites. i love Oliver Hardy as the side kick. And John Wayne is always good... See more Read all reviews
