From the opening scene to the last moment, this Warner wartime film satisfies. Some will dismiss it as far fetched and implausible. However, it was just the thing needed to bolster Allied spirits during the dark, depressing days of WWII. Errol Flynn and Ronald Reagan make a good combo and the supporting cast is very good. The bold bravado of the team coupled with the inept Nazis is just what moviegoers of the era needed to see. The aerial photography in the first battle was excellent. I loved every minute. Great Max Steiner score. Raul Walsh and Hal Wallis never faied to deliver great entertainment. If only I could buy a war bond. The TCM print is excellent. As a pre-boomer born in 1944, I can get into the spirit of what the "Greatest Generation" accomplished for us.
