I was extremely excited when I found out this movie was going to be shown on TV - I was 11 years old, almost 12 and probably read "Red Badge" about 5 times already - me and my older brother were big Civil War fans at the time, we ended up participating in the reenactment at Gettysburg in 1976 (underage but convincingly lied about my age). I like the Audie Murphy film but it was hacked to pieces by the producers because "who the hell wants to watch a Civil War movie?" Idiots. This was way before the more recent popularity of the war that came with the Ken Burns special, Glory, Gettysburg, etc. and the hundreds of books published about the war in the last few decades. We didn't have the Internet, only a few books at the local and school libraries but I did have a copy of the "American Heritage Picture History of the Civil War" which I still have that was read/reread and paged through hundreds of times. Even though reenactments started during the Centennial (1960s) there were very few local reenactors in the area in the early/mid 70s. Anyway..memories.
Wow. I was also super pumped about this movie AND also participated in the 1976 Gettysburg reenactment.
Remember watching this as a kid great movie. All Quiet was another good Thomas war movie.
And that damn bird gets Thomas killed. LOL
I read this book many times in high school by far the best book I've ever read.. But I prefer the Audie Murphy movie version..
Keep on reading there are better things in Store for you!
The scene in the Murphy version where you see the Confederate troops through the smoke, in black and white, really gives you an idea how terrifying it must have been to be in your first battle. This version is great, but just doesn't get that across. I guess as the Murphy version ws made by mostly WW2 vets had a lot to do with how it was made
@@Willysmb44 The actors were great in the earlier version but I think much of the credit for those shots goes to John Huston’s directing and Harold Rosson’s cinematography. Just brilliant craftwork with the 1951 movie. It’s kinda amazing this version has 10x the views of the other version here on utube
I've always felt sad over the fact Stephen Crane died so young. Supposedly the major battle featured in the novel is based on Chancellorsville but am not sure it's ever been proven this is the case. I vaguely recall reading somewhere awhile back that Crane himself verified the accuracy of this long-held belief but memory may be faulty on my part. I read the novel for the first time about a year or so ago. Although slightly tedious, I ended-up really enjoying it. Crane clearly was a terrific writer. His descriptions of battle are engrossing, evocative, & moving. It's just a shame he died so young.
Loved watching this movie when I was little! Thanks for uploading it!
The current civil war re-enactment movement started soon after this movie was made. Imagine a new big budget production of this book with reenactors in the backgrounds to make the battle scenes the right size, with a good cast and directing
Great Movie Richard Thomas Civil War
Richard Thomas always delivers. This is a classic work of arr,tho the novel is always better.
Wow, he could sprint! I swear he ran half-way to Fredericksburg! Well done, Fleming! Well done!
Was ok, nice to see Richard Thomas after all these years, used to watch the Walton's when I was a kid.
Respect the kid with the drum...good movie
Oldie but Goodie. Thanks.
Man..... 8 year me was totally freaked out by this. John Boy goes to war really threw me!
Un excelente remake de ese gran clásico de Stephen Crain en ser llevado a la gran pantalla y con tan buenos actores, como fue Richard Thomas en hacer del soldado Henry Fleming. Simplemente genial de principio a fin.
Saludos y bendiciones a todos los cinéfilos de corazón desde Venezuela.
Thousands of Mexicans fought with the Union Army during the Civil War.Most served on the western front in the New Mexican and California regiments.May Our Lady of Guadalupe of Mexico bless everybody here.🎇🏰🎆
It's awesome to see all 50 stars on the flag. @59 minutes into the movie
Russia owned Alaska and Hawai'i was independent islands then. Great foreshadowing.
When John Boy betrayed his fellow Virginians
well , Virginians DID betray their country
🇺🇸
... and half of Virginia DID split-off
to form a separate State
of West Virginia as a result 😂
You mean his fellow new yorkers?
The lead actor here is famous for playing a Virginian in an old tv show
Greatest comment ever sir
I'm an Australian and I know that. 😉
I read this book in 8th grade.
I read this book in high school.
Memories.
Was that the 1890's?🤣🤣🤣😂😂😅😄🤣
Thank you for this!
Thank you 🤩🤩💖
I read this book in high school. It would probably be banned now. Loved the movie. Thanks
This book isn’t banned anywhere that I know of. Maybe in some of the Southern states? But even that would shock me
Opening scene shows the protagonist about to shave but doesn't get the chance. Then he's fully shaven seconds later
And the men actually had razors!
Sack that Continuity Girl immediately!
As a veteran the courage the men in the civil war had is unbelievable in our time. It’s very hard to even comprehend the amount of people each side faced. The napoleonic front lines must have been horrible. The civil war was the very last of that type of fighting.
God bless Everyman that died to make this a free country.
I hope and pray we can fix the problems brought on by weak liberals. How many died because democrats didn’t want to give up ownership of another human? Now they are teaching children they can pick their gender. They are taking God out of everything. These are dark times maybe not the darkest yet. But weak men make for hard times.
❤
A Heroic deed as ones Endeavor to Persevere butchery evoked by Man/Brother/Presidents, we all.
Beautiful short novel by S.Crane,❤️
PRAISE THE L👑RD🙏🀄

"JOHN BOY " 😂😇💖💛💜 PLAYED AN EXCELLENT SOLDIER👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👌
THANKS 4 SHARING⚘⚘⚘
A 5-⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ PRESENTATION🙏🀄
And how we forget other great American writers of that period, such as A.Bierce,E.A.Poe,M.Twain,H.P.Lovecraft,J.London.I like them.
Stephen Crane had no military experience.
great movie
Marlin Brando, Antonio Bandaras, and Omar Sharif were all Magnificent in this movie!
I especially loved the Jackie Chan fight sequences at the museums
I remember seeing this when it aired
I think I recall an account of the author of this novel being unusually realistic about the gruesome aspects of Infantry service in the war. On a grammer school outing to the sea shore, Crane had organized a senario that had their group of boys burying a companion in the sand and then digging him up. When the young female teacher happened by and inquired as to just what exactly they were doing he explained that their unfortunate comrade had been killed in battle and hastily buried before they remembered that he had had a flask of fine whiskey in his pocket so now they were digging him back up to retrieve it.
Horrible! The teacher was indeed aghast and declared that Crane must be mentally unbalanced to think of such things.
John Boy went from this to All Quiet On The Western Front a few years later. That was a much better adaptation of a book.
At 1:00, the man on the soapbox is singing "The Grey Goose" song, which was also sung by Burl Ives.
I don't know about you fellow posters but this movie scares the hell out of me! Like any SANE person, I hate war.
I had ancestors that fought in that war. More Americans died in the Civil War than all the other wars combined. New estimates put 800,000 soldiers and 50,000 civilians died.
Chapter 1 of the book tells of Henry going off to serve in the Civil War, and saying goodbye to his mother and all his classmates at the seminary. Some editions of the book have a historical footnote stating that at the time a seminary simply meant a high school, and not a theological institution. No telling how many readers who did not know this pictured Henry throughout the novel as a future man of the cloth who put a vocation on hold to serve and saw the war through religious eyes.
Fresh fish scenes are used a lot for civil war films comes to mind
Glory
The Blue and The Gray

A coward dies a thousand screams but the valiant only taste of death but once, we'll all soon find that one out in the very near future.
The most coward can be the most valiant and vice-versa. Its Not violence That makes us man, its the inteligente to avoid violence and transform enemies into friends and build a better world together.
@@McPruden Well said , thereby the quiet and unnoticed man often reveals himself in a crisis or war to be most valuable and valiant .
@@koen8185 we are like sheep... Going to slaughter... Me me me me... Its a lottery... Some die becoming Heroes and statistics... Some live to continue the story has winners or loosers... But always loosing. But until when? Human kind is exponencial, and now we are able to stop all wars, in two different ways... Total anihilation or total pacifism. Which One is more viable? Surelly i prefer the second One. The world already has enough problems... Lets Not destroy Mother Earth or our selves in the process. Although Mother Earth Will probably Stay here long after we are gone... Unfortunally we need to BE prepared for trouble... But leaders must sail the ship into world peace. Strangelly pacifism must be backed with guns... Until we all reach it.
Not if you are going to break the commandment in the Bible called "Thy shall not kill".
This idea made war hell.
I had no idea the Walton boy was so hooo-ahhhh!
richard Thomas is a great actor my favorite movie is all quiet in the western front he was recruited by the German. army in ww1
All 3 major movie adaptations of the book did a great unique take on it.
Nothing like as good as the 1950s original which captured the atmosphere and the mindset of the day, including the dialect of much of rural Americans in the 1860s. The original showed how ordinary these young men were ,caught up in this terrible conflict and most of the time having no idea of what was going on.
The original was cut about , making it very short. I look forward to a remake that captures the age authentically as John Houston’s film did.
This version is a typical 1970s idea of the past in America, not accurate at all.
Civil War reenacting didn't get really started until after the 200th Anniversary of the "Revy War". I remember those original 125th Anniversary CW reenactors of the '80s. They were the ones who found the original Hardee's drill manuals, demanded authentic 3 band muskets, and made the authentic gear. The result was wonderful reenactments. It's not the "Trapdoors" that bother me. It's not the Kepis. It's not the '70s haircuts. It's the California countryside. With the exception of "The Wilderness" and "Shiloh", most of the battles were on neatly tended farms. BTW, my favorite reenactment was of "Mud-Freeze-Boro" of '93. I was union and it seemed every Reb in Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama, Mississippi, and Missouri showed up. There was about 8,000 Rebs and that line extended forever. We union reenactors were commenting "So this is what many a union line were looking at before they were turned into a grease spot on the ground."
@@Easy-Eight: That's what I noticed about the Audie Murphy version. I was expecting to see The Incredible Hulk & the Duke boys run through on set any minute.
Please can you bring back deadly shootouts Please as I love the series so much
What implicates an army deserver? Not wearing your cap, your shirt, throwing down your knapsack and gun. Finally, fleeing the battle.
un classic oui certes mais toujours quand vu du côté Yankee (même par un auteur talentueux) on change la vraie histoire on se la fabrique et on oublie que Chancellorsville était une grande victoire Confédérée....
Watch the Audie Murphy version
I saw this when I was 8yrs old 1974 Jerald Ford was president
I'm sorry but I absolutely hated this book in high school as well as this 1974 remake, for at the time having had many friends and relatives already serving ignominiously in the bowels of the Vietnam war. It romanticized becoming a 'man' by facing one's fears in the face of armed conflict. True, facing one's fears and cowardice is admirable but encouraging others to do the same through warfare is deluded and childish. Anything that glorifies the bitter ardor of battle is simply wrong. Seeing someone killed or horribly disfigured by gunfire or shrapnel has a way of maturing the soul by forcing one to embrace such cruel realities. I don't recommend that either.
You sound like a man who has experienced fraternizing with death, I agree with you 100%. Romanticizing and glorifying war is a game for the foolish and we certainly have plenty of them in government who would love to see bloodshed in order to achieve their sick agenda.
I agree 100%
i see your point but i don’t agree 100% just because the story only covers one very specified experience so there’s basically no way it can convey any actual themes when it’s so random and skewed; literally just learning that war isn’t easy in short-friends died, scaredy cat. you were probably taught about it differently but i perceive it that way
(Henry Carried The Flag)(1:07:21)(1:07:22)
It is believed that the film (and the book) is based on the Battle of Chancellorsville, fought in May, 1863.
Fredericksburg was winter. Chancellorsville was a horrible union defeat that emboldened Lee to cross the Potomac and invade Pennsylvania. Then the armies met at Gettysburg July 1st l, 2nd and 3rd of 1863. It wasn't the peninsula campaign of 1862. Or the overland campaign of 1864. Your right, sometime around Chancellorsville when Joe Hooker was overconfident and got his clock cleaned by Lee.
What a shame, A classic book and movie spoilt by greed. Far to many adverts interrupting the flow of the movie!
I found this on TH-cam and it’s really good for tv. I wonder if someone might remaster this 4k someday
muy buena
The severely abridged version... *cough go read the book* Missed the humility and humanity of the fight. Missed the scene where he and a Confederate had to use teamwork due to injuries incurred to rejoin the forces.
crappy budget moment

Yep!! Now each and every one of you can be as much beauty or as much handsome or as much young as you like and all at Emmy's Expense
Good movie. only at 1:07:09 I wonder why the southern artillery were cavalry caps ?
R.T. surely did have a lot of war-ly troubles- what, with this & trying to be all quiet on the Western front.
Try not to git shot, John-boy!
Eh, without a narration there's really no engine to drive this particular story. The fuzzy camera flashbacks and visions are a poor substitute. The John Huston / Audie Murphy RBOC has its flaws but is a much better film.
720p don't help much.
There was a lot of slow burn storytelling in the 70s for some reason
John Boy always look light in the loafers.......
1:08 They cut out when the rebel was saying please don;t kill me I surrender then was shot
For the new generation here and foreigners these soldiers were part of Abraham's Lincoln Blue Army fighting to free the slaves in the American Civil War.
I also rescued riley McMurray with American soldiers when she was stuck by the bad guys
Boys got good condition
Not only was he being shot at but that poor kid was surrounded by some long-winded buffoons can't they be quiet while they're being killed?
Any free questionnaire available about this movie?
Wasn’t this a black and white 1960s film?
Yes. 1954. Starring Audie Murphy and Bill Mauldin. Both famous from WW2
This is a remake. The original starred Audie Murphy.
Hey Dixie, Lincoln is your da da!

terrors of war😢
2:38 USA-merikanisch von Sprache & GESINNUNG !
No hay la versión en español.es una versión muy buena del actor Richard Thomas. Valientes estos yankees atacando la posición de los rebeldes.
Looks like southern California
Hamming is strong in this one
Golden Point - White & Middle East People are Rich.
I don't think they would have sold many books this is really bad
The book came out in 1895 so
La Roja Insignia del Valor.
Leí ese libro. Aburrido.
Es mejor Twain con sus Cuentos de civiles y soldados.
Was Sherman and his Men charged with war crimes?
Yes, every old Conferderate woman for five generations charged him with war crimes. I think he was even tried and convicted in absentia in a southern Mississippi county and found guilty. But they couldn't find anyone with enough balls to try to bring him back for execution.
Confederacy, Indians or both?
say so
Good movie. I really liked the ending. Skewered some Confederates and captured an army of northern Virginia traitor rag. It was a glorious afternoon.
Wow, the charge near the end took like forever, you'd be worn out way before you got to their lines,just sayin.
Aka John-Boy becomes a Great Man ♂️ hahahaha hahahaha
Big guy got killed 😢😢🙏
It’s a given… if Richard Thomas is in the movie… it’s gonna be an awful movie.
A poorly directed, low budget attempt at filming a classic novel. Filmed too early to take advantage of Civil War reenactors. Makes the original 1952 movie look like a masterpiece.
Forgot bayonets.
God bless the South they had the right !!!
They did not have the right to enslaves the Africans, and you’re clinically insane for unironically saying that.
War makes man men or apes?
And all that each of you is to do is to have and maintain morals.
Away , red plague !
