Edward Ludwig directs this 72 minute wartime romantic drama for Columbia Pictures. Two Coast Guard pilots fall in love with the same woman. Lt. Ray Dower(Ralph Bellamy)is steadfast, loyal and dedicated; while his best buddy Lt. Tom "Speed" Bradshaw(Randolph Scott)is a hyper show off and self declared ladies man. The lovely Nancy Bliss(Frances Dee)has the two fliers wooing her and she ends up choosing "Speed". After awhile she tires of his he-man behavior and leaves him. Trying to win her back, Bradshaw is showing off in a Navy plane and crashes...losing his wings.
When Ray is lost in the Artic, wingless "Speed" will try and redeem himself by making a daring rescue. If successful this could definitely make a stronger bond with his buddy and may even win Nancy back. COAST GUARD is well paced and watchable. Rounding out the cast are: Walter Connolly, Stanley Andrews, Warren Hymer, Robert Middlemass and Don Beddoe.
