Movie Review: Stupid, funny, fore runner for F Troop
Summary: 5 Stars
Premise. During the Civil War the Union Army sends a company of hand chosen misfits to garrison a fort in the Western territories, after their commanding officer's 'Melvyn Douglas' horse runs off with him to the rear with his entire regiment following. This comedy was based on Company of Cowards, a novel by Jack Schaefer. Directed by George Marshall. With Glenn Ford, Stella Stevens, Melvyn Douglas, Jim Backus, Joan Blondell, Andrew Pine, Alan Hale, Jr., James Griffith, Whit Bissell, Michael Pate etc.
Ok there is no reason this movie should have been made. Except that it is completely stupid, a great laugh and fun vehicle to watch. I understand the two seasoned comedy series F Troop is loosely based on the film. Enjoy
