Alvarez Kelly

Alvarez Kelly is a 1966 Pathcolor war film set in the American Civil War starring William Holden and Richard Widmark. The film was based on the historic Beefsteak Raid of September 1864 led by Confederate Major General Wade Hampton III.

Kelly is persuaded to help shanghai and deliver the stolen herd to Richmond. Despite the hatred between the two men, they manage to work together. Kelly first teaches Rossiters men how to drive cattle. Then, they proceed to capture and drive the herd away, despite the efforts of Union officer Major Albert Stedman Patrick ONeal. As revenge, Kelly arranges passage for Rossiters discontented fiance, Liz Pickering Janice Rule, on a blockade runner leaving the besieged city.
