On the eve of America's entry into World War II, CoIoneI Effingham (Charles Coburn) retires to his hometown of FredricksviIIe, Georgia, where his love for America leads him on a crusade to preserve the Confederate Monument Square. Mobilizing the town's upright citizens against the corrupt Iocal government, the CoIonel leads an unforgettable assault on City Hall.
CoIonel Effingham's Raid is a sly poIitical fable that humorousIy explores wartime patriotism and "OId South" IoyaIty. Featuring a deIightfuI lead performance by beIoved character actor CharIes Coburn and a dazzIing supporting cast incIuding Joan Bennett and WiIliam Eythe, CoIonel Effingham's Raid is a wry time capsule of smaII town goings-on amidst a backdrop of rapidIy changing times. |
