His devotion to his duty as a wing commander takes a toll on his men, his marriage, and his own well-being. It is to Hudson's credit that he was willing to put his image on the line with this essentially unsympathetic characterization, and a tribute to his underrated ability as an actor that he compels us to care for him. Popular British leading lady Mary Peach makes a rare Hollywood appearance as Hudson's English wife. An unexpected bonus to A Gathering of Eagles is a semicomic musical piece, "The SAC Song," by dilettante satirist Tom Lehrer. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Emanuel Levy, EmanuelLevy.Com
The main rewards of seeing Delbert Mann's mediocre drama are Rock Hudson decently playing an unsympathetic part and the Oscar-nominated sound effects.
-
Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
It's as dull and routine as it sounds, and only occasionally soars.
