Inferior to Gone with the Wind and other Civil War films in the same decade
Mini Review of "Band of Angels (1957)" Pros: • Unlike Clarke Gable's previous Civil War film, Band of Angels depicts slavery as horrible, degrading, and inhumane. Part of this is shown through the eyes of the biracial protagonist Amantha Starr and the Black slave Rau-Ru (Sidney Poitier). Hamish Bond (Clark Gable) has a lengthy monologue about the repulsive brutality of the slave trade that he was complicit in and now deeply regrets. • Rau-Ru (Sidney Poitier) is a definite step up in terms of the depiction of a Black slave character. Rau-Ru is intelligent, well spoken, capable, utterly resentful of the fact that he is a slave, manages to become a Sergeant in the Union army, and has extremely conflicted feelings about his owner and father figure Hamish Bond (Clark Gable). • Hamish Bond (Clark Gable) plainly says that he's unsure if the Confederacy will win the war which subverts the Lost Cause tenet that the Confederacy's loss was inevitable. Cons: • While slavery is depicted as evil, there are two on screen depictions of benevolent slave owners 😑. • All of the named Union soldiers in the film except Rau-Ru (Sidney Poitier) are depicted as racists, hypocrites, predators of women, petty, greedy, and pillagers 😠. Comparisons to Clarke Gable's much more popular Civil film Gone with the Wind are inevitable and unfortunately Band of Angels falls short for two big reasons. 1) This film isn't nearly as good as Gone with the Wind in terms of acting, cinematography, scope, score, or production value. 2) Band of Angels is only slightly better when it comes to accurately depicting the American Civil War than Gone with the Wind. Gone with the Wind is an epic ode to the Lost Cause of the Confederacy and Band of the Angels does try to correct a few of the harmful depictions in the (in)famous 1939 film such as Black characters not being borderline racist one note characters and slavery being horrendous, but pretty much everything else about Band of Angels thesis about the war lines up with that of Gone with the Wind. Band of Angels even comes up short when compared to other Civil War films made in the same decade, The Tall Target (1951), The Red Badge of Courage (1951), and Friendly Persuasion (1956), all of which leave Band of Angels in the dust in terms of quality and historical accuracy. This film is for Clarke Gable and/or Civil War completionists only.

A Great Romantic Epic of the Old South
This is a movie I saw many years ago --- I have a copy of it in storage on VHS. The DVD is exactly like new -- "mint" condition. I love Yvonne DeCarlo and Gable in this --- amazing that he made it almost 20 years after "Gone with the Wind." Very entertaining!!!!!!!!
