Two Flags West (Entre Dois Juramenntos), de Robert Wise (1950)

Durante a Guerra Civil, em 1863, prisioneiros confederados concordam se juntar às forças do exército da União, para ajudarem na luta contra os índios. Em troca, os prisioneiros terão a liberdade garantida pelo presidente Lincoln. Os soldados confederados são da cavalaria da Geórgia, sob o comando do Coronel Clay Tucker (Joseph Cotten), e aceitam ajudar sob a condição única de que não lutarem contra o exército Confederado. Eles são enviados, junto com os soldados da União, para Forte Thorn, em área isolada no Novo México. O forte é comandado pelo Major Henry Kenniston (Jeff Chandler), que manca por causa de ferida de guerra e odeia os confederados. As velhas animosidades entre os soldados confederados e da União rapidamente ressurgem durante essa frágil aliança contra os índios.

Com Joseph Cotten, Jeff Chandler, Linda Darnell, Dale Robertson e Cornel Wilde.

Jeff Chandler, que estava no começo de carreira, admirava tanto Joseph Cotten que ele aparecia para ver as cenas do ator veterano, mesmo quando ele não estava escalado para atuar.

Um dos poucos filmes a usar com precisão os termos nortistas e sulistas nas batalhas da Guerra Civil. Na cena de jantar de boas vindas pela chegada dos confederados, Jeff Chandler pergunta a Joseph Cotten se estava na batalha de "First Bull Run", termo dos nortistas para a primeira grande batalha da guerra civil. Cotten responde que sim, ele esteve e complementa que perdeu seu irmão em "First Manassas", o termo usado pelos rebeldes para a mesma batalha.

During the Civil War, in 1863,Confederate prisoners of war agree to join forces with the Union Army in the common fight against Indians.In return,the Confederate POWs are promised their freedom by President Lincoln during his Special Proclamation.A company of Confederate Georgia cavalry POWs,under the command of Confederate Colonel Clay Tucker, joins the Union on the sole condition they wouldn't have to fight against the Confederacy.The company is sent to the isolated and undermanned Fort Thorn, New Mexico, on the Western frontier. The fort is commanded by Union major Henry Kenniston who is limping from an old war wound and who hates Confederates.The old animosities between Unionists and Confederates quickly resurface during their fragile alliance against the Indians.

Cast: Joseph Cotten, Jeff Chandler, Linda Darnell, Dale Robertson e Cornel Wilde.

Jeff Chandler, who was in the very early stages of his career, admired Joseph Cotten so much that he would show up to watch the veteran actor work even when he was not scheduled to be there.

One of the few movies to accurately use both the Southern and Northern terms for Civil War battles. In the welcoming dinner shortly after the former Rebels arrive, Major Hutchinson (Jeff Chandler) asks Colonel/Lieutenant Taylor (Joseph Cotten) if he was at "First Bull Run", the Northern term for the first major battle of the war. Taylor responds that he was, but later states he lost his brother at "First Manassas", the correct Southern term for the same battle.

Subtitles in English and Portuguese.
