An exciting film that stays in the memory - in my case for over five decades - due to Raymond Massey`s towering performance as the fanatical John Brown.
John Brown was totally wrong here when he didn’t pay Rader for what he owed him, that caused him to turn against Brown at the end and go to turn him into the Army!
Interesting how, from this 1940 film, Error Flynn was destined to die, 19 years later; and Ronald Reagan was destined to become president, 41 years later. At the time this film was made, they seemed to be on the same Hollywood acting career life path.
I think Jason Brown died in 1895.... a few years later Raymond Massey reprised the role of John Brown in a more accurate story of John Brown..."Seven Angry Men"....His son Oliver was killed at Harpers Ferry..
John Brown should have taken his son aside and talked to him like a man instead of berating him like that in front of the others and now they won’t respect him and a man needs to be treated like a man especially by his father!
Stuart and Custer did not attend West Point at the same time and were never personally acquainted. Stuart graduated from West Point in 1854 and Custer graduated in 1861.[14] Jason Brown was not killed in Kansas. One of Brown's other sons, Frederick, was shot by Reverend White.[15] Stuart served in the 1st Cavalry Regiment and Custer served in the 2nd and 5th Cavalry Regiments. Custer was never in Kansas Territory (although stationed there after the Civil War and after Kansas had become a state). Carl Rader did not exist. The US Cavalry did not assault the Harper's Ferry engine house which was occupied by John Brown; it was taken by US Marines who incurred two casualties (one dead, one wounded) The railroad into New Mexico was not begun until 1879, twenty years after the fictional events in the film. The characters in the film carry Colt Model 1873 Single Action Army revolvers, which did not exist in 1859.
any errol flynne is a good movie there are some i have not seen as there on the pay list ''an i'm not paying to see a movie from the 50s but this one was good 9/10
What I liked about it was the balance between the abolish and slavery. These military guys were just doing their duty for their country. Though all those men turned out to be despicable bastards.
Basically it was the time just before the war between the north and the south President Lincoln was to set free the slaves in the south was against it. John
Eddie Murphy you need to get your facts straight, he was one of the top bravest warriors this country ever produced... his biggest problem was the though he was invincible
I live in Santa Fe--and the movie is about anything BUT the Santa Fe Trail--a disappointment that its really about John Brown ===not that's its bad--but why call movie Santa Fe Trail when it wasn't about that? The movie premiered here at the Lensic theatre with all the stars (Reagan terribly miscast as Custer) Flynn predicatably got drunk and swung ala Robin Hood from the chandeliers at the famous La Fonda Hotel.
Greetings to Santa Fe on this 4-th. of july...my sentiments exactly about how they left out Santa Fe !....the railroad Atchison Topeka @ Santa Fe supposed to build a line from Kansas to Santa Fe, but they couldn`t reach the town because of difficult terrain...so they built another branch of tracks just to connect Santa Fe....ewery time i watch this movie i think of that. Are the passenger trains still running to Santa Fe ?

Van Heflin soon won his Oscar for Johnny Eager.

Thanks excellent movie.
The part of the old Indian woman reading gave me goosebumps
Okay, so this is not historically accurate, bur I still love this movie. Jason Brown was against his father's violence and actually died in his 80's.

Why did you turn the five mile creek season 1 uploads to private??
God Bless John Brown

At 28.30..." we came here to fight slavers"....."that`s good, we`ll put you to work straight away".

Little did they know ,That 4 years from this moment.There would be more than 600,000 lives spent.
And the 600k came in a country with a much smaller population than today.
All of 'em Ward Bond, Raymond Massie......
I didn't know they had 48 shooters back then .
it was not the cavalry but the marines who were there,as accurate as hollywood makes movies.in outer words notevenclose
Now this is a Western
Not the Crap we have been watching. Great Acting from never forgot great Actors. Errol FLYNN say nö more.
Reagan certainly played the right guy, Custer!
Basically it was the time just before the war between the north and the south President Lincoln was to set free the slaves in the south was against it.
John
One of my favorite all time movies and more than a bit historically educational.
Educational in it is so historically inaccurate
I curious
How many man with John Brown in last battle in true history?
18, I think. Wiki can probably tell you.
What s wrong wth the film it stops half way and won't go to the finish. ???????
"I haven't felt this bad since I saw that Ronald Reagan movie!"
Happeness thérapie
What John Brown plan again?
Custer was at West Point from 1857 to 1861 so get the movie right.
Harry Kim I know what you mean . the u.s. marines overcame john Brown's people at Harper's ferry , not the army .
CUSTER WAS a Arsehole who LED his men to death. For his own GLORY. Should be written from History.
Eddie Murphy you need to get your facts straight, he was one of the top bravest warriors this country ever produced... his biggest problem was the though he was invincible
Custer's famous last words at the LBH.Where the f**k did all those indians come from?😂😂😂😂😂

Flynn knew how to enjoy himself.
Maybe we should have taken the hide off. We removed the horns didnt we!
