Movie Reviews

Variety - 9/10 by Variety StaffMarquee pull of John Wayne and Robert Ryan in the action market has been teamed with a story of Marine fighter pilots.
EmanuelLevy.Com - 9/10 by Emanuel LevyThough John Wayne plays a similar role to that of his other WWII movies (Sands of Iwo Jima), the tough but sensitive commander, this picture is better than the rest due to smooth and crispy direction by Nicholas Ray.
The New York Times - 9/10 by Howard ThompsonWith Mr. Wayne, Mr. Ryan and their charges in the cockpits against the crackling magnificence of Mr. Ray's battletorn sky, the picture is all it should be.
Video-Reviewmaster.com - 9/10 by Steve CrumPure WWII jingo and John Wayne. But stylish and heroic nonetheless.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Susan KingActual color footage of battle action in the Pacific has been smartly blended with studio shots to strike a note of realism.
User Review - 10/10 by Alyn DIT IS A JOHN WAYNE MOVIE...NEED I SAY MORE.
User Review - 10/10 by Jon DOutstanding movie John Wayne is my family favorite actor
User Review - 10/10 by benjammin CIt's neat seeing old World War II footage.
User Review - 10/10 by Mike Cit's the duke, what more is tere to say..
User Review - 8/10 by josh mIf it weren't for Nicholas Ray, this film would fall flat on the fatness of its chauvinism. But with Ray, despite the outdatedness of its social views (like John Wayne's wife retreating to a back room to escape her husband's admonishments for showing her emotion) and the tired jingoism that creeps up throughout, Ray makes an exciting film full of dashing color that does not distract from the urgency of the moment, something Ray seems to hone in on with deft alacrity and uncompromising temerity with the camera.
