Movie Reviews

Video-Reviewmaster.com - 8/10 by Steve CrumStrong MGM WWII drama with large star roster, serious story.
User Review - 10/10 by Mickey FOne of Gable's best performances, and he's matched by both Pidgeon and Johnson. An all-male cast in this look at the leadership behind the daylight bombing runs over Germany. An outstanding tale that was overshadowed by TWELVE O'CLOCK HIGH.
User Review - 10/10 by Stephen RAn excellent film. Some of Walter Pidgeon's dialog had me literally leaning forward in my seat.
User Review - 8/10 by Ashley HCommand Decision is an excellent film. It is about Army generals struggle with the decision to prioritize bombing the German factories. Clark Gable and Walter Pidgeon give fantastic performances. The screenplay is good but a little slow in places. Sam Wood did a great job directing this movie. I enjoyed watching this motion picture because of the drama and adventure. Command Decision is a must see.
User Review - 8/10 by Kevin M. WDecent World War 2 flick with Clark Gable as the general with "The Buck Stops Here" on his desk (and his chest) when liberal political wonks from the U.S. want to know why frontline casualties aren't being kept down. A large cast fills out The-Job-Must-Get-Done-At-Any-Cost story nicely.
User Review - 8/10 by K DCertainly a war movie... no romance, no women, lol... but it really drew me in and I actually learned quite a bit about how air raids were run in WWII. I wouldn't rank this as one of Gable's greatest performances, but he gave a convincing performance as a General who is doing what is right for the success of the war. The politics of war also play out rather well in this film and certainly the plot makes the picture. I wish the ending would have been handled slightly better... I wasn't really sure what happened, but overall I liked this one.
User Review - 8/10 by cody fAmazing!!! Great script(based on a play) and flawless acting from the whole cast. This film is all dialog with almost no action, a big detour from most WWII films. This movie doesn't need action because the story is captivating and the acting is top notch from everyone. I was really surprised I have never heard of this one, and wasn't shocked when I heard that audiences didn't care for it when it was released because of lack of action.I am not going into detail of the story because you must find out for yourself. It centers around a General(Gable) who is losing planes and men at a alarming rate for a mysterious reason. Everyone is against him,the top brass, the press,and many of his own soldiers, but is their a method to his madness? Walter Pidgeon and Gable really drive this film with great direction from Sam Wood and a perfect supporting cast.The story moves at breakneck speed and is driven by total dialog. A must see!
User Review - 8/10 by Brian WAnother War movie from MGM. This one stars Clark Gable who plays Gen Casey Dennis. Dennis is leading a fight against the Germans with his squadrons of bombers knocking out factory's that are developing and building jets for the German air force, the Germans are sure to win the war with this fighter. Losses are high on each days bombing. 320 men killed the first day 580 men killed the second. Should he be relieved of his command. This movie was taken from a play, and is quite excellent. 4 Stars
User Review - 8/10 by John MA typical WWII movie made during the era and worth seeing.
User Review - 8/10 by John YA bit melodramatic in parts, but it definitely shows the pains of command and the struggle the Army Air Corps dealt with to merely exist. Well, worth your time if you love history and war movies.
