Still hanging in there as we go into the second day of the John Wayne Marathon.

This is not one of the best, but it was pretty good. The dialog left a lot to be desired, but it had some interesting characters.

Besides Wayne, who was a Yankee Colonel who was looking for two traitors (Victor French & Robert Donner) after the war, there was Jorge Rivero and Robert Mitchum's son Christopher, who both fought on the Confederate side and who helped Wayne find the traitors after the war. Jack Elam was there and also George Plimpton, who played in many movies like Good Will Hunting and Reds, and who wrote "Infamous."

Jennifer O'Neill, Susana Dosamantes, and Sherry Lansing all added beauty to the film.
