There was John Taylor of Caroline, farmer, Jeffersonian theorist and author of An Enquiry into the Principles and Policy of the Government of the United States, which John Randolph considered "a monument of the force and weakness of the human mind," and Mr. Schlesinger considers great political writing...
Kidd (Charles Laughton) buries a treasure chest, sails a King's ship into Madagascar waters, knocks off a number of chiseling colleagues, and at long last gets the halter while young lovers Randolph Scott and Barbara Britton make for the altar.
