Sam Wood directed this WWII story that stars Clark Gable as Brigadier General Dennis, who is in charge of a bomber group in England that must undertake a risky but vital mission to destroy German factories that are producing new Jet fighters that could out-gun Allied bombers and turn the tide against them in the war. The bombers will have to fly low, in highly dangerous conditions with likely high casualties, which is a tough sell for the General to convince both civilian and military authorities of its vital importance. Co-starring Walter Pidgeon, Van Johnson, Brian Donlevy, and Marshall Thompson(among others). Though talky, and based on a stage play, film is well-acted and still quite interesting.
