Reviews (1)
At first sight, a pretty standard example of what John Wayne played in, but on the other hand, I liked how the movie, especially in the aerial battles, tried to make it properly dramatic and dynamic. This is something that makes it worth watching even in today's time, even though it may otherwise get lost among those Wayne's films.
