Watched online, poor copy, very blurry.

4 songs in the Soundtracks, including the titular song, all performed by EP. 

1st of 31 films for EP.

The film may be better than my rating, but 1) it's too blurry to see who's who, and 2) it's a Western and I have little tolerance for Westerns, especially in b/w. Just noticed that I gave the same rating on 2015-07-09. Don't know where I would have watched it.

This seems dull. The tension points are that Confederate men keep the "confiscated" Union payroll instead of turning it in to authorities when they learn the war has ended, and that EP has married DP, when RE had been dreaming of doing that when he returned from the war. EP is little brother to RE, so RE plans to leave the family, but then the law comes looking for him over the payroll. The law wants all the money back, but the Con's can't agree to take the deal, so some flee instead. The other tension point flares when EP realizes his wife actually loves RE more than himself, so he joins the posse chasing the Con's and shoots his brother, but also gets shot. I didn't pay close enough attention to spoil the ending.

Update 22Mar19: Now have a clear copy on my dvr.  Really just as dull as any poverty row Western (but with several recognizable faces); EP is clearly a star on the rise.
