Yellowneck (1955)

What this really needed was a star... He needn't have been an A-lister, but it really required a lynch-pin character to hold it together. As it is, it hasn't, so is little better than a mediocre swamp adventure film that follows a band of fleeing Confederate soldiers trying to escape the war and traverse the treacherous Everglades heading for Cuba? The photography is colourful but that's about it. None of the characters are interesting, likeable or remotely engaging; the plot and the dialogue are weak and by half way through I found myself wondering if they could even swim! Not good, sorry....
