Not every pilot can guide his aircraft from a wave-tossed deck, seek out targets over unfamiliar Korean terrain, then return to what looks like a speck in the sea. Naval Reservist Harry Brubaker (William Holden) can.
This masterful story of a war-weary World War II veteran who must leave his family to fight again combines moving drama with surefire, bombs-away aerial action. Also starring Grace Kelly as his loving luminescent wife.

Great Movie - 5 out of 5 (8/17/2001)
Great aircraft scenes. Special effects way ahead of its time. The story is more in depth than that in most war movies. Far more than most films, this one aquaints you with the pressures and concerns of a carrier aviator during the early jet years. A classic well worth owning. Hey, it was made in 1954! Comparing it with a modern, mediocre movie with great sound and video is missing the point!
