1951, DRUMS IN THE DEEP SOUTH, HIGH DEFINITION, complete movie, King Brothers

THIS IS NOT A POOR QUALITY SCREEN CAPTURE LIKE MOST OF THE INTERNET POSTS OF THIS MOVIE, I OWN AND HAVE DIGITIZED MY OWN VERSION OF THIS 16MM FILM MYSELF IN HIGH DEFINITION. ENJOY

THE FILM 1951, DRUMS IN THE DEEP SOUTH, this is so far the best version of this film on the internet. From what I can tell there are a multitude of channels that have pirated the same inferior copy of this film from each other. This is a brand new offering taken from a 16mm print that I personally own. Even this print has many flaws and I have worked for almost a week repairing most of these. I watermark my films because I put a lot of work into them. Thank you for watching.

from Wikipedia:

Drums in the Deep South is an American Civil War war film designed and directed by William Cameron Menzies who was production designer of David O. Selznick's Gone With the Wind (1939) and also designed the cave sequences in Selznick's The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1938). Based on a story by Civil War author Hollister Noble, the film was produced by an independent company King Brothers Productions, filmed in SuperCineColor and released by RKO Pictures in September 1951. B. Reeves Eason directed the second unit.

Best friends Clay Clayburn (James Craig) and Will Denning (Guy Madison) graduate from West Point and visit their friend and fellow graduate Braxton (Craig Stevens) at his Georgia plantation in 1861. Clay had once loved Braxton's wife Kathy (Barbara Payton) and still does. When war is declared they soon find themselves fighting on opposite sides of the Civil War.

By 1864, Clay now a Field Artillery Major in the Confederate States Army is renowned for accepting but surviving suicide missions. He is given another. To delay General Sherman's March to the Sea, a local guide can lead a party of men and their disassembled cannon inside caves that lead to the top of Devil's Mountain where a battery of guns can destroy the railroad and the Union troop and supply trains that travel it, buying time for the Confederacy. Devil's Mountain is coincidentally near Braxton's (who is now fighting elsewhere for the Confederacy) and Kathy's old plantation where Kathy remains with her uncle (Taylor Holmes). Kathy agrees to monitor the activities of the Northern invaders and signal Clay's outpost from her window through a mirror by day and a lantern by night. Through her activities, Clay's men are notified of the arrival two supply trains and destroy both of them.
