Unless You are Literally a "Wing-Nut" or Revel in Political and Commercial Propaganda with Full Governmental Support for the Newly-Found United States Air Force...
more Specifically the "Strategic Air Command" (SAC), "Peace is Our Profession", then there is Really No-Need to Watch this Valentine Post-Card...
that Looks Beautiful and Delivers its Message in the Most Dumbed-Down Terms Imaginable. Presenting a Paper Cut-Out of America in the Eisenhower Era...
Complete with a Ring-Collar Preacher Father-In-Law...
Baseball "America's Pastime"...
a Doting Wife with Little Room for an Opinion that is Listen To or Considered (June Allyson), but Can Claim Her "Baby-Boom" Cred...
an Ultra-Patriotic Pilot that is Reluctant to Give Up a High-Paying Player in Major League Baseball, but then After Seeing the New-Models...
Takes a Test-Drive and is Forever Smitten, Falls In-Love with the Shiny Metallic Aircraft So-Much that He Re-Enlists for Life (James Stewart).
No Wonder, the Aircraft are Filmed, both On-the-Ground and In-the Air, Like Pin-Up Models Showcased for Maximum Seduction.
To Keep the Analogy Up, there is a Sequence Filmed of the Famous In-Flight Refueling from Gas-Tanker-Planes that is a Literal and Direct Method of Human Reproduction.
Stanley Kubrick Must have Noticed, because He Repeated Almost the Exact Scene in "Dr. Strangelove" (1964).
All of this "Flag-Waving", Nuclear-Family, Nuclear Bomber, Cold War Propaganda is In-Your-Face Directly and Distinctly Meant to be "Gospel" for America and its Citizens. Pass the Apple Pie.
Director Anthony Mann is in Full Cooperation with the Pentagon and Doesn't Step Out of the Party Line for Anything Provocative, Interesting, or Entertaining.
The Movie is a Combination of a Military Training Film, and an "American Dream" Documentary from the 1950's.
It's a Dull, Embarrassing Product of its Era and has Dated Horribly. Nothing More than the USAF Using Hollywood to Promote its Reason to Be.
Mediocre Movie Making at its Most Mundane. The "Entertainment" Value is Minimal.
