True (ish) story with Cooper in the titular role of Mitchell who as a Brigadier General goes public on his knowledge of the scant attention the armed forces are giving air power as a means of national defence.
Ok drama driven pretty much exclusively by the need for everyone's favourite screen hero Coop to have his say in court. Hence you spend most of the film waiting for this, which when it arrives is slightly disappointing, hampered in part by a rather dour turn by Cooper. Ralph Bellamy is a bit theatrical and effete as the defence and indeed Steiger delivers another of his famous scenery chewing performances as the prosecution. Watchable.
