The McConnell Story
(1955)
Directed by George
Douglas this film based on a true story stars Alan Ladd, June Allyson
and James Whitmore. A young man who dreams of flying joins the US
military during WW2 hoping to become a pilot.
It seems that the plot
of this film at least keeps true to the broad strokes of the real
story it is based on. Sadly the film is more interested in being a
recruiting advert for the Air Force rather than actually exploring
the characters involved in any depth. The action sequences are not
too bad for the era the film was made in but are not that impressive
to modern viewers.
2/5
