Fun Stuff

Trivia:
F9F Panther jets from US Navy squadron VF-192 were also used to film The Bridges at Toko-Ri (1954). After the filming of these two movies, the squadron name was changed from "Golden Dragons" to "World Famous Golden Dragons". more
Goofs:
Continuity: When the squadron leader ejects early in the movie, the scene switches to a slow motion shot of an actual ejection. The plane is all silver and most definitely not a black F9F Navy Panther jet. more

It's not what a man says; it is what he does., 23 May 2003
4/10
Author: Michael O'Keefe from Muskogee OK

An average war action film about Navy pilots on a U.S. aircraft carrier during the Korean War. A very good cast that barely gains full throttle. The players include: Van Johnson, Walter Pidgeon, Frank Lovejoy, Keenan Wynn, Robert Horton, and Louis Calhern. And a cameo by six year old Jerry Mathers. A couple of tense scenes during this 79 minute film; but nothing real outstanding.
