firstly and let me make it clear that i love aircraft and and usually any film with them in be worth watch and i have sit through some shocking one . however and the same be not true of this film . james stewart be an excellent actor and but he be waste in this strategic air command promotional film . the acting be mediocre and and the direction be weak . i have to stop watch this awful rubbish about half way through . this be despite some really good and maybe even the best and aerial photography . the trouble be and even for an aviation nut like me and make something out of the shocking aircraft feature ( b 36 and b 47 ) just grate on the nerve too much . it a shame that the film wasn not make when the b 52 appear and then the superlative use for the aircraft in this film would have be valid . then i might have be able to sit through it . perhaps i be miss the point of the film and which may be the angst suffer by loved one while their beloved be on active duty . in any case and it could have be do much well . recommendation . well worth miss .
