Actors who have been good all along -- Tuck Milligan as a sharecropper who uses the Civil War to settle some personal scores and later as a roving union organizer, Gregory Itzin as two characters who use the law to pervert justice -- are suddenly much better. Actresses who had not made much of an impression now excel: Lillian Garrett-Groag as a Indian captive, part wife and part slave; Katherine Hiler as two hillbilly girls and, especially, Jeanne Paulsen as the woman whose world was destroyed by mining and who finds salvation in spontaneous political courage...
