Only the Brave is a 1930 American Pre-Code drama film directed by Frank Tuttle and starring Gary Cooper, Mary Brian, and Phillips Holmes.

His first assignment involves carrying false military dispatches behind enemy lines and allow them to be discovered by Confederate Army officers in order to mislead them.

At the ball, Braydon openly flirts with his gracious host in order to make one of the Confederate officers, Capt.

Sometime later, after General Lee surrenders at Appomattox Court House to end the war, Barbara and Braydon are married in a military wedding.

His quiet courage inspires hero-worship in the hearts of all who behold him and hear him in his masterful work upon the talking screen.
