big names in wartime flick
13 May 2018
Cary Grant and Fredric March are brit flyers in the Royal Air Force during WW I. Small part by Carole Lombard. Silly, goofy Jack Oakie is in here as the sidekick. Young (March) is the flyer, and Crocker (Grant) is the photographer. They dislike each other, and it gets worse and worse as time goes by. When Young knocks off a German ace, he drinks heavily and starts to come un-wound. traditional wartime flying film, with some big names. Unsatisfying ending for me. Too many plot-holes, but i won't get into details here. Good to see the big names, but the final scene didn't really work. Pretty good up until that point. Directed by Stuart Walker. He only directed twelve films in the 1930s, and this was right in the middle of the bunch. great to see the big names, but mehhhh.
