About this movie

Not every pilot can guide his aircraft from a wave-tossed deck, seek out targets over unfamiliar Korean terrain, then return to what looks like a speck in the sea. Naval Reservist Harry Brubaker (William Holden) can. This masterful story of a war-weary World War II veteran who must leave his family to fight again combines moving drama with surefire, bombs-away aerial action. Also starring Grace Kelly as his loving, luminescent wife.

Ratings and reviews

Loved the film, maybe slightly clunky acting, but it is what it is and I knew to expect that from such a mainstream film of this era. Somewhat forgotten for both leads I guess, but the attention to detail with uniforms and the setting is fantastic. Great movie for those who like a classic war film. Unfortunately I'm not so happy with google play and won't be paying for a 'hd downloadable' film' which I can't even get full screen, let alone download...
