Any man failing to report to duty will be promptly hanged. Amen.

Last night I watched the film "Drums along the Mohawk" from 1939 directed by the great John Ford and stars Claudette Colbert, Henry Fonda and John Carradine. The film is set during the later years of the Revolutionary War. Fonda and Colbert play a newly married couple that go to up state New York to live on a farm he's built. But that all soon changes when Indian and British forces attack. This attack forces them to move closer to the local fort. Carradine plays the main villian who wares an eye patch on his right eye. The film was produced by 3 time Oscar winning producer Darryl F. Zanuck known for "The Grapes of Wrath" and "The Longest Day" both of which star Henry Fonda. It was slow at times,but overall it was a good film.
