REVIEWS

Review by anonymous (posted on 9-Aug-2006)

Based on a novel by James Michener, this is the story of a man (William Holden) recalled to duty in the Korean War, assifned to fly jets from an aircraft carrier at sea off the coast of North Korea. He doesn't want to be there. He wants to be with his wife (Grace Kelly) and children, back home practicing law. But he is there and he has to do what is required. The cast is outstanding (Frederick March as the admiral, Charles McGraw as the chief pilot, Mickey Rooney as a rescue helicopter pilot. The aviation and carrier sequences are authentic---no battle footage from old military films.
