i hadn not even heard of this movie until recently . i be an aviation or ww2 fan and and i have always enjoy gregory peck film and so i figure what the heck . peck play an emotionally scarred canadian pilot fly with commonwealth pilot in burma in ww2 . it look like the plane they fly be do in australian air force marking and but i be not certain on that count . a other reviewer have state and he meet a nice burmese girl and and begin to come back emotionally . unfortunately and he down in the wilderness with and injured man and a third uncooperative officer . the story be somewhat predictable and and by the number for sure . i feel that it have age relatively well though due to the largely excellent characterization create by the actor and author . of course and the special effect in this 52 year old film aren not up to today standard and but i find them passable . the film be beautifully shot and the location photography often breathtaking . my only gripe be minor and the kind of thing that prevent the film from be a 10 in my book . represent the officer who be burn in the crash lie there like an idiot and scream until his companion throw sand on him to put out the flame . he have the stop and drop and but neither will do any good without the roll . plus and the gore or makeup standard of the day prevent the filmmaker from show anything truly horrific and so his injury seem pretty minor . the script require one of the three to be incapacitate and and the could have or should have come up with something well and like 2 broken leg . the character of bloor be a little too one dimensional and and the conflict between him and forrester be much too on the nose . surely a more subtle rise disagreement could have be create . minor mistake that no person in his right mind would have make if it be real represent after bloor dy and forrester leave his hat there . a i watch it and i be say to myself represent grab that hat . when forrester leave the navigator to march on by himself and he doesn not move him under shelter so that he will have shade when the sun come up . plus he take only one empty canteen with him on his quest for water . on the plus side and there be some nice touch that i find very good . i really enjoy the interaction between forrester and ana . i think it be well act and write and film . i also find the picture of bloor wife and family very touch . before die and the last thing he do be look at this picture of his wife and whom we be previously inform be the love of his life . when we the audience finally see the picture and she an average to homely look woman . for me that greatly enhance the realism of bloor character and the finality of his death . and finally and the movie have excellent production value and good plane footage and dirt under the nails location photography . check it out .
