While historians continue to debate Dr. Mudd's guilt, John Ford portrays him as a victim of circumstance swept up in the hysteria following the assassination of President Lincoln. In one of his best roles, Warner Baxter gives a searing portrait as Dr. Mudd. While some of the plot situations are purely fanciful, Baxter never lets the viewer forget that this is the story of a real man unfolding before us. Whether proclaiming his innocence, vainly struggling to escape his hideous confinement or valiantly attempting to fight an outbreak of yellow fever, Baxter is never anything less than completely compelling. John Carradine is chilling as a sadistic prison guard, like something out of a horror movie.

Ford makes a convincing and emotionally telling argument for Mudd's innocence.

Dirigida con un buen pulso , esta es una pelicula que no decae en ningun momento gracias al maesto John Ford.

Very much a film of its time, particularly in its attitudes to race, this is nevertheless a compelling story. After unwittingly treating John Wilkes Booth's broken leg, Dr. Samuel Mudd is implicated in the plot to kill Lincoln, and sentenced to life imprisonment in the Dry Tortugas in Florida. It's sharply paced, with characters of real depth and some memorable scenes. John Carradine's performance as the brutal jailor is particularly strong.

Surprise surprise, another damn good John Ford flick.
