A pretty interesting movie about bush pilots in Canada and World War II. The plot is decent, but most of the actors are forgettable, and the film occasionally falls into the usual pitfalls of glorifying-the-troops propaganda war films. Scenes where the air force is on display drag on too long and feel too much like newsreel shorts (recruiting scenes, pilot graduation scene, etc). Cagney carries the film wonderfully though; it's a pleasure to watch his performance, even surrounded by such mediocrity.

Wow, you got to see this on Blu-ray, fantastic photography, crisp and the colors just pop out.
The obvious question is where were the fighter escorts that should have met them at the end.

It was a coincidence, this being Remembrance Day, that I threw on this selection from the James Cagney Signature Collection DVD boxed set, and it's weird that this Hollywood film came out as a tribute to the Royal Canadian Air Force. Really unique as a war film, and I loved Billy Bishop's cameo, in More
