Neither de Toth nor Cooper were helped by the predictable script by Charles Marquis about a Union Army officer putting on a show of supposed betrayal and cowardice in order to ramify into espionage in the enemy camp, and track down the mole in the US War Department (sounds like a Cold War movie, doesn't it?!)
Cooper has done much better work, in fact I would rate his performance here as substandard, especially when compared with his show in HIGH NOON.
I doubt I will watch SPRINGFIELD RIFLE again. 6/10.
Springfield Rifle is a very well made film, I loved the scenery and the cinematography is beautiful. It also has strong direction, a rousing music score from Max Steiner that compliments the film perfectly, a good story with an interesting structure and themes and sharp dialogue.
Good pacing is also at hand, and the cast are great. Gary Cooper has done better work perhaps, but still gives an engaging performance. Lon Chaney Jnr likewise, and Phyllis Thaxter and Paul Kelly are excellent. Overall, a very enjoyable movie. 8/10 Bethany Cox

- WissenswertesThe opening scene has a matte shot with the U.S. capitol dome in the background. The dome was not completed until 1866.
- PatzerIn the mirror flashing scenes, Major Kearney tells the riders to hold their mirror steady for 30 seconds if everything is okay but flash it around if there are any problems and they'll wait to move the horses. In the next scene, the mirror can be seen flashing from the top of the ridge meaning there was a problem but the whole camp gets excited and moves out with the horses.
