Synopsis

With the accesses of Richmond (the capital of the Southerners), during the American Civil War, the Northerners accommodate a herd of cattle led by a considered specialist, Alvarez Kelly. Confédérés with the aguets decides to seize this provisioning for their account.

Comment

Edward Dmytryk approaches this film of war, at the same time western, in a rather original way. It is the provisioning of the troops, strategic aspect little treated by films of the kind.
