7/10
a propaganda piece of the cold war

I saw this at the theater wow! those jets zooming around in color too!!!!! but all in all this has got to on of the poorest acted films ever shot....the story is hokey and the acting is so wooden, you thought that Gipetto would jump out onto the set any min. Hans Conried as a Russian Officer....Oh come on now....Uncle Tonoose maybe,... but a high ranking Russian spy? ....not with THAT accent! But the color filming was spectacular for the 1950's so that is what kept people in the seats.....the hope that something good will come along from the good parts to overcome the horrifying acting and characters....but alas, nothing and no one came to our rescue. I didn't care for it when I was a kid I loath it today....such a waste of good actors ans flying scenes....the Duke sure made a bunch of real stinkers in the late 40's and the 50's..........
