    Some of the footage of the scenery flying by on the way to this historic bombing run is way ahead of its time. Robert Mitchum on the rise. Van Johnson established.

  • July 22, 2007
    Damn good movie, even though the love story is sappy and too Hollywood. Fantastic special effects during the carrier take-off.
