This is a great movie! As an old Cavalry Officer myself (albeit Air Cavalry) this is a great story, presented in an excellent manner. Doing the right thing in the face of official and professional ostracism illustrates personal courage as strong as the courage required to face the enemy on the battlefield. Doing the right thing is not always the easy thing to do, particularly when you stand by yourself in an organization that expects and demands conformity and acceptance to change. The change forced upon these few horse cavalry soldiers, by an organization determined to leave the old way and adopt the requirements for mechanized cavalry, during the early days of World War II, is a story that all should remember. The courage of these soldiers, to do the right thing, and disobey official orders, provides a lesson not only in honor but personal courage that very few would be able to see through to the end.
This is an excellent movie and in my opinion, the finest performance by Don Johnson I have seen.
