4.0 out of 5 stars A richly photographed wartime story, 30 Jun 2009
A richly photographed portrayal of bush pilots in the Canadian wilderness, filmed in colour and on location. This first half blends more or less seamlessly into the second half, just as richly photographed, which is filmed on location at Canadian Royal Air Force bases in the early years of the war. Given the constraints that everyone must have been under at that time, I think we can forgive the sparing use of a few model planes here and there. The story meanders (it would never get past the plot-twisting writers on contemporary movies), most of the main characters are old (again, it would never get past a modern casting dept.) and the two young leads are rather wooden. The ending is something of a letdown, but inevitable. It's a long film at nearly two hours and in the second half it's certainly not perfect - but you keep watching because the photography is constantly ravishing and as stunning shot after stunning shot flows past your jaw just drops.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice patriotic formula movie, 30 Sep 2007
By bernie "xyzzy" (Arlington, Texas) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)      
A hand full of Canadian bush pilots (James Cagney, Dennis Morgan, Alan Hale, George Tobias, and Reginald Gardiner) has a dream of owning their own airline. Naturally a girl (Brenda Marshall) gets in the mix. James Cagney has to sacrifice himself and money (by getting married) to save Dennis Morgan from marring this unreliable woman and losing his dream.
Through all kinds of misunderstandings the pilots all end up in the Royal Air Force planning to give it to those Nazis. Each pilot still brings his bush nature with him; for many that nature may mean their demise.
