"The Raid" (1954) - Civil War St. Albans Cavalry Raid Movie, Van Heflin

[@janelanglois9509]

I love the old films. They are no swearing and no sexy scenes pure entertainment thank you for putting it on x

[@thomasdap8659]

Me too 😅

[@615855]

Wholeheartedly agree. Grew up on these films and I first saw The Raid in 1955 at the local cinema in the Saturday afternoon matinee. Before the Raid film, Van Heflin appeared with Alan Ladd in Shane, one of the greatest western of all time.

70 years old movie Majestic made those actors the best of the industry Very young in that Time Thanks for downloading this jewel

[@rogerhuber3133]

Good flick. Love finding these old movies with our favorite old stars. What a shame they don't make great movies like this any more.

[@paulm3033]

They do , it makes no sense to suggest that after a certain date there haven't been any good ones

[@rogerhuber3133]

@@paulm3033 Not suggesting any cutoff date but we don't have many high quality actors now compared to the 1940-60 period. Movies used to be entertaining and now they have an agenda.

[@6offdutyninjasN1]

@rogerhuber3133 I had to read all if the endings though but it was really great I thought. The silence. Them talking to each other like they can understand one another the whole time. Him stealing the water and fish.

[@firechiefsampolitano1541]

Van Heflen and Richard Boone were actors you either loved or didn't. Peter Graves, Lee Marvin, James Best, Will Wright, Claude Adkins plenty of great actors later in their own time after this movie. I give it 9 stars because of the talent. Peter Graves and James Arness from Gunsmoke are brothers.

[@jason60chev]

Lee Marvin and Claude Atkins were both in The Caine Mutiny, the same year that this was made.

Anne Bancroft looked very fine. I didn't know until I saw this movie the first time that her career started so early. Her husband, Mel Brooks, is one lucky guy!

Van Heflin was a big star in the 1940s and 50s. '3:10 to Yuma', 'Shane'. He won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in 1942' 'Johnny Eager.'

ME? Either! I think it was too Neutral for my days of 60's to 80's watching this in La Co Ca on TV with Mom and Dad, but just about SPOT ON for all the VET's! "I Grew Up!" With! Most held almost no hate for a Nation or that any "Nations Peoples!" as American's did things they never wanted to remember to an enemy's peoples, and people in the wrong place, wrong time, Luck of the Draw! I knew vets' who told me some participation, planning, to supportingg, and witness of some gruesome things from every side, race, color, tribe, creed, or? religion! Just one! Buddy! was Armor Spport ETO had to bow saw allied and enemies out of frozen battle damaged equipment for the morge, and to recover the armor, get it back in the fight! Told me he had to do the same after an SS massacre in france, when he had to arrange trucks to go the wrong way on the red ball so he stacked the 140 plus frozen dead cut like firewood to help keep his men less exposedto advancing enemy armor, or un known enemy position! or conditions? Had another Glen a fishing Buddy! Landed a battle damaged P-38 with twin screws right in the middle of a Bedouin Camp with their candles or lanterns? looking for his friendly base runway lights! That ended harshly for any flesh on the ground in the 700 yards it took to stop. Same dude allegedly got Shot Down two other times in the MED Italy, Greek, areas of opperations, rescued each time via area Undergrounds and Brit Subs. this is just two, of dozens! of dudes I grew up with as close friends. Kinda like the boy in the flick? This IS LEADERSHIP!! RIP GUY's I Love You! Miss Y'ALL! Ya'ALL! FYI How do you? Think? the Movie "Animal House" came up with a newer version of sawing?

My GGF Michael Carroll Hennessy rode with Bennett Young during Morgan's Ohio raid(June/July 1863). GGF captured, (as was Young) held in Camp Douglas: Young escaped to Canada ; captured St. Albans. Young, much younger than character depicted by Heflin....later escaped to British Area ; educated there returnd to long prominent life in Kentucky...

The only memento that Bennett Young kept was a one dollar Franklin County Bank note . On display in the Blue Grass Museum in Winchester Kentucky . It was folded to the size of a postage stamp and carried in his wallet until his death .

My comment is not on the artistic facet of the movie, but a reflection on its story: civil war is always brutal on civilians no matter where it takes place. If war is savagery, civil war is the zenith of that savagery.

[@richardhardin9469]

In the beginning it states "1954 @ 1:48"? Is that to let us again know when the movie was produced? Thank you.
