Must See Movie...
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
As usual, Long Horn has already told the storyline just above. I watched it and forgot nearly the film as soon as it was finished. So I don't wait for commenting it. It is rare, OK, but also flat, boring, talkative, unlike most of Republic Pictures movies, where there are many action sequences. The topic presents no real imaginative ideas. Nothing special, but a acceptable time waster for those like me in search of rare items.Philip Ford was a prolific film maker for Republic, as was George Blair and many other directors such likes of RG Springsteen for these tiny budget movies.I'll continue looking for them, as I do since twenty five years now.
