This is hardly Hitch's best but it does feature some redemptive set pieces. The best is a plane crash towards the end which is simply amazing for it's time. He also must have had a large budget because there are a lot of crowd scenes. The acting is pretty ordinary - Herbert Marshall is particularly dull - but Joel McCrea is rather likeable as the FC. And there is always Hitch's mischievous sense of humour, tho the patriotism at the end is pretty hard to stomach. It screams propaganda.
