Rating:  - A lively western, with an energetic Errol Flynn and the miscast but fascinating Miriam Hopkins
Could any two less likely major stars be chosen to carry a Hollywood oater? There's Errol Flynn, an Australian with an accent of sorts who made his name waving a sword at sea and shooting arrows in forests. There's Miriam Hopkins, one of the most sophisticated and slyest actresses Hollywood has ever seen, but whose career as a major star in major movies had declined since the late Thirties. Yet together with Randolph Scott and director Michael Curtiz, they turn Virginia City into a rouser, part full ... Read More
Rating: - Heroic Civil War western
The Michael Curtiz directed "Virginia City" was a glorified Hollywood Western spectacle with an accomplished group of actors who were inanely miscast.
A clearly out of step Miriam Hopkins playing Southern sympathizer Julia Hayne, a dance hall girl from a fine Virginia family now living in Virginia City, Nevada comes to Confederate president Jefferson Davis with a plan. In these waning days of the Civil War, the vanquishing of the South looms near. Hopkins proposes a donation of 5 million ... Read More
Rating: - Enjoyable western with Errol Flynn in fine form
Warner Bros. production of "Virginia City", has often come in for its fair share of criticism over its smaller budget than other contemporary westerns had lavished on them at this time and of the classic cases of miscasting among some of the lead performers.

It is an interesting point that Errol Flynn was one ... Read More
Rating: - Who Cast This Film?
Towards the end of the Civil War, Union spy Errol Flynn is sent to Virginia City to stop a secret Confederate shipment of gold from reaching its destination, thus giving the South money to finance its failing war effort. Randolph Scott is the Confederate soldier in charge of the operation, and Miriam Hopkins is the dance hall girl/Confederate spy who helps to set it all up. Fans of Dodge City will find this Flynn western to be a disappointment, since it lacks the colour and spectacle and sense of fun of ... Read More
Rating: - KERRY BRADFORD
Contrary to popular belief, this movie was not a sequel to DODGE CITY, the Technicolor epic Flynn made with Olivia de Havilland the year before. This movie was originally intended to contain a better plotted script than it's predessesor, but something went wrong. Flynn plays a Union officer who escapes from the Confederate Libby Prison and goes to Virginia City to block a $5 million gold shipment that Southern sympathizers are preparing to smuggle through the Union lines to the hard-pressed Confederacy. ...
