So-so: essentially Cold War propaganda
23 January 2017
Proof that Jimmy Stewart can star in mediocre movies. Essentially a piece of Cold War propaganda, the plot is so-so, the dialogue is overly gung-ho, and the acting is fairly wooden.

Even the great Jimmy Stewart seems like he is just going through the motions. I guess Hollywood wanted to continue to milk the fact that he was a WW2 bomber pilot.

June Allyson, usually wonderful to watch, is incredibly irritating as the long-suffering Air Force wife.

It's not all bad though. Any scenes involving the B-36 and B-47 bombers were great, and there's a lot of them.
