The American Civil War has just ended. A former yankee colonel retires and decides to capture wild horses and sell them; he gets a good offer from Mexican emperor Maximilian and drives the herd to Mexico. A former Southern colonel travels with his family and army to Mexico where they expect to gather new strength. Both colonels meet.
Second viewing. A wildly unrealistic film, a retrospective dream of reconciliation(s), released in a time when the U.S. was similarly divided over the Vietnam War. Italo Calvino's novel The Cloven Viscount has a more abstract view of these matters.
