A pretty good movie from 1959 which illustrates the attractiveness and likability of evil, tyrannical leaders. Interesting in light of what we are going through now. On Netflix streaming.
The Jayhawkers
In pre-Civil War Kansas, megalomaniac Luke Darcy (Jeff Chandler) aims to take full control of the territory with the help of a band of the titular militant freedom fighters. But ex-convict Cam (Fess Parker) wants to stand in his way. Cam wants revenge for Luke's role in the death of his wife and the loss of his farm, but once he joins the Jayhawkers himself he wonders if it might be best to join Luke's cause.
