Rocky Mountain (DVD)

Rocky Mountain (1950) starring Errol Flynn, Patrice Wymore, Scott Forbes. During the Civil War, Confederate Captain Lafe Barstow (Flynn) leads a small band of Rebs out to California in a desperate attempt to shore up Rebel prospects. His plans go awry when he rescues a young woman (Wymore) from a stagecoach being chased by Indians. She turns out to be the fiancee of a Union soldier (Forbes) stationed nearby. Flynn makes a convincing Confederate soldier. I was disappointed, however, that the movie -- released in 1950 -- wasn't filmed in color. Subtitles are supplied, but are hard to read. There are no closed captions. Grade: B
