Review

Dour story of an American and a Canadian, co-pilots of a bomber during World War Two. A triangular romance tends to slow things up, but there's no denying the frightening power of Steve McQueen in the lead role. Shirley Anne Field is the girl at the apex of the triangle that also includes Robert Wagner, and a young Michael Crawford appears as one of the airmen at the base.
