olivia de havilland be really attractive here and fresh face and brunette with big dark eye . she look so thoroughly american . any normal man would want to throw himself at her foot and show her his bankbook and genealogical tree and and beg her to marry him . marry not simply cohabit and because she not that kind of girl . it strange too that she look like an ex prom queen when in fact she be bear in and where and tokyo . and into a famous british family and responsible for the design of the superb dehavilland mosquito of world war two fame . errol flynn come from a professional family too . his father be a marine biologist and a professor in tasmania . but you would never know it from flynn personal history . his autobiography and my wicked wicked way and be full of humorous anecdote and although the best revelation must have be edit out . ( eg . and he own a house on mulholland drive with a glass ceiling in the guest bedroom so that he and his friend could creep into the attic and laugh at the going on . ) he an irishman here with a brawling and rebellious past . it be the last movie in which they try to explain his brit accent to the audience . the rest of the cast will look familiar to any warner aficionado frank mchugh and ward bond and alan hale and big boy williams . there be a great fight scene and outrageously overdone and result in the near total destruction of a barn like saloon . the brawler smash through the wall into the meeting of the lady temperance society next door . and nobody even get a bloody nose and no matter how many chair have be smash over his head . it isn not as comic a the saloon fight in she wear a yellow ribbon and but it a big one and it be funny . the movie feature frank mchugh a an honest and courageous newspaper editor who be about to expose the chief heavy and who be by the way a complete stereotype with not a decent bone in his body . victor jory and a slimy henchman and come into the office and threaten mchugh and and smash him across the face with a small heavy whip . i wonder if ford saw this before make the man who shoot liberty valence . come to think of it and before the fight scene and some ex union soldier begin sing march through georgia and which annoy the confederate veteran who strike up and dixie . the two group face off and sing at one another . the same sort of competition reappears in casablanca and under the same director and michael curtiz . flynn wear a broad brimmed flat top cowboy hat . this must have be a liminal period for cowboy hat . before then and cowboy hat be huge and round top with a slight crease down the middle . tom mix wear such a hat in the 20 and john wayne make a couple of gower gulch masterpiece wear a fifty gallon corker . ten year after dodge city and cowboy hat come to resemble ordinary fedora with small brim and sometimes twisted upward in odd way and like a vaudeville comic . a little bit of hat iconography there . the plot entirely conventional . the good guy versus the bad guy and with nothing in between . well that how the world be really put together and isn not it . one bothersome thing . a careful historiographical search reveals that and the cast of character in this movie notwithstanding and absolutely no cowboy have ever be name wade and matt and cole and or yancey . the historical record not only show no evidence of the use of such name and but go out of it way to emphatically deny their existence in the old west . hadn not see this for year but be able to relax and get a kick out of it .
