 Rating:  - Not bad for a 'Cold War' flickThis film was one of those 'feel good' movies about the U.S. Air Force during the 'Cold War' years of the 50's. The stars of the movie are very old now or deceased (Efrem Zimbalist Jr is still alive, I believe, but I'm not sure about Karl Maldin). Natalie Wood of course has passed on- so sad! Anyway, the story-line centers around the introduction of the B-52 (NOT the song group!) in the mid-50's as the primary strike weapon of SAC (Strategic Air Command). Many of the aerial scenes are well done, ... Read More Rating:  - Bombers B-52Dedicated Air Force sergeant begrudgingly serves under an old nemesis while transitioning their squadron to B-52 bombers. Master Sergeant Chuck Brennan (Karl Malden) resents his new commander Colonel Jim Herlihy (Efrem Zimbalist Jr.) for an incident that killed several of Brennan's men in the Korean War.

Still a good yarn for a Saturday or Sunday afternoon though. Woould recommend it for history viewing also. Rating: - Surprised me!I wasn't sure what to expect when I finally got around to watching this movie, I really liked it. It has great shots of B-47's and B-52's in action, the story line was good (although not probable, a squadron CO would be canned immediately for what the movie character was doing), and I thought it portrayed the life of a military aviation mechanic fairly accurately (I was one in the Navy). If you enjoyed Jimmy Stewart's "Strategic Air Command" you'll enjoy this movie. I gave it four ... Read More Rating: - Bombers B-52; SAC The Way It WasIf you served in the Strategic Air Command as I did, you'll appreciate the movie footage of our Cold War Warriors in action and their tangled lives behind the scenes. A great retrospective about SAC and the way it was, versus the way it is now. Browse for similar items by category:
