Movie was entertaining to watch, caught it on TCM. Really enjoyed the vintage aircraft scenes. Everybody smoking on flights in those days; must have been a joy trying to breath. Rod Steiger definitely was the highlight of this film, his performance was stellar. One comment about Robert Ryan, knowing that he was a WW2 Marine Drill instructor. The way he handled the revolver was hilarious, in one scene when he requests a fellow cast member to follow him he actually pokes him in the belly with it. If I was a former Marine I would have railed against that kind of direction. Oh well, just a B movie, but I would have thought he would handle his weapon better than that of a fellow actor in "Plan 9 From Outer Space". ROFL

Warbirds

An Ed Wood Wannabe!!!!!!
6 March 2003
I use to own this movie. I forget how I came across it, but the movie was so atrociously bad, that I would loan it out to friends and family. But before loaning it out, I would purposely talk it up, like it was the best thing to come along since Top Gun. Well needless to say, I reaped misery on quite a few unsuspecting relatives and friends. This movie was so hokey than it put Ed Wood's "Plan Nine From Outer Space" to shame. I really wish I still had it, because I had a lot of fun with this bomb. Unfortunately one of my victims never returned it. It is rumored that it met an untimely death in a dumpster somewhere along Alligator Alley.
Rest In Peace Warbirds, I miss you...

Great Movie

Very heart warming and uplifting movie. Outstanding performance by Alisan Porter (Curly Sue). I saw this movie when it was first released and enjoyed it immensely. I just caught it again on the Mplex channel, and Curly Sue touched my heart again.
