Title: Raymond Massey as John Brown
Review: Raymond Massey steals the show from Errol Flynn with his excellent portrayal of John Brown as a principled abolitionist and religious fanatic in this 1940 classic. Massey's masterful acting shows both sides of Brown - heroic emancipator and vicious cutthroat - alternating from one personality to the other with perfection. Historic figures including Jefferson Davis, JEB Stuart (Flynn) and Robert E. Lee appear as friends who will later become enemies with George A. Custer (Ronald Reagan) and Philip Sheridan.
