The War Lover (1962)
Directed by Philip
Leacock this film based on the novel of the same name stars Steve
McQueen, Robert Wagner, Shirley Anne Field and Michael Crawford. In
1943 two American bomber pilots struggle to cope with the war.
This film works fairly
decently and is a pretty average war film that focuses more on the
mental state of the crews of bombers rather than being an action
piece. While the psychological side maybe the focus of the story here
it is not a ground breaking effort but a nice change from the
propaganda pieces of the 40s and 50s. Generally the special effects
work well although this is obviously not a big budget film.
3/5
