This is really a dog. Jimmy Stewart is wasted, Beirne Lay evidently was out of dialog after Twelve O'Clock High, and June Allyson spends most of the movie whining. Fast forward to the aerial shots of the B-36 and the movie is really worth watching. That thing is so huge but so strangely graceful. Most of the shots look like slow motion, but that's only because the plane is so gigantic. Beautifully composed aerial photography is the only reason to watch this film, but it is worth it just to see a 10 engined airplane banking into the sunset.
