Dark Command

ased on a true story, Wayne plays Bob Seton, an illiterate cowboy from Texas who wins over the people of Lawrence, Kansas, in the dark days before the outbreak of the American Civil War. Walter Pidgeon co-stars as Will Cantrell, a merciless and ambitious ex-school teacher who bands together guerilla groups and undertakes ruthless raids, pillaging the surrounding countryside. While endeavouring to crush Cantrell and his desperados, Wayne is also intent on winning the heart of the gorgeous Mary McCloud, played by Claire Trevor.
