It is about the abolitionist John Brown, particularly his involvement in Bleeding Kansas and his leadership of the Raid on Harpers Ferry. The title refers to Brown and his six sons.
John Brown is a 19th-century abolitionist. After cutting a bloody swath through Kansas, Brown and his followers take refuge in a warehouse at Harper's Ferry, Virginia, where he meets his own personal Waterloo at the hands of federal troops.
Raymond Massey had previously played Brown in Santa Fe Trail (1940) and appeared on stage in John Brown's Body.
The planned film was known as John Brown's Raiders. In July 1954 Walter Mirisch announced the film would be one of 15 Allied Artists would make over the next 6 months.[2] The same month the studio announced that Massey would play Brown.[3]
Hunter and Paget were borrowed from 20th Century Fox. Filming started in September 1954.[4]
The New York Times critic called it a "competent if hardly inspired Allied Artists presentation".[5]
