rating: 5 Quotevery nice tape that depicts WW II on an aircraft carrier.Quote
Sterling Hayden portrays a flight group commander on an aircraft carrier. having been in the U S military, I can truthfully state that much of the film's content was authentically done. Some content was for the average person to lighten the script, but most was factual. I would recommend this film to anyone interested in WW II. March 15, 2008

I enjoyed this movie. I agree with a lot of what the other reviewers said. Some of it was pretty dated and the acting wasn't great but it was a good old school war movie. Also I noticed while watching that the planes seemed to change in the live action footage but it was ok cause the real life combat footage was so real and so intense that it could only add to the movie.

This may not be for everybody but for old school movie fans and war movie fans from the good old days, I think you will like it. January 23, 2008

The story line is weak, and the acting is, well, weak. But the plus for this film is the excellant naval footage that is used. The DVD copy needs slight color correction, unless you enjoy green water, sky and navy uniforms. All in all, a good value for war buffs. January 4, 2008

I saw this movie in 1954 when it was released and have always wanted to see it again, Well, I did! There is no attempt at authenticity as far as one scene the hero is taking off in an F4U and his wingman is in a F6F, or the squadron is flying F4U's but the takeoff scences are Helldiver's. It is typical propaganda for how wholesome and fine are the American kids but there is some value in how whole heartedly we all endorsed that ideal of American goodness. It is wonderful to recall a time when we believed that America would not endorse a war that was possibly wrong. January 15, 2007
