Synopsis: Seven Texan youngsters decide to ride to Virginia to enlist in the Confederate army. Along the way, they meet various kinds of people.
Appraisal: What stands out in this film is the solid direction and the well-written dialog. That alone makes it watchable despite the somewhat trite storyline and the obvious production flaws like the insertion of stock footage in battle sequences. One can sense a veiled reference to the Vietnam war and the general discomfort felt at that time regarding that stupid war. Based on a 1963 novel by Will Henry (pen name of Henry Wilson Allen, aka Heck Allen).
