Hi,
How Duke, could make SANDS OF IWO JIMA, and RIO GRANDE,
and manage to make this utter tosh, in-between, is beyond belief!!!
One of his Top 5 worse films!
He should have walked away, from this one, but perhaps it was the money!
Fortunately, for us all, Howard Hughes hid it from us, for a few years,
to save us from the torture!!!
Duke was at his worst hammy, and making silly facial expressions!!
Another film, adding ammunition, to the critics of his acting.
One quote I read said that the chemistry, between Duke and Janet was great,
I'm sorry, but I can't see that, it wasn't bad, but chemistry it wasn't.
The whole plot was prepostrous and uncredible,and with all those whooshing
sounds evertytime we saw, Janet's bosom, all went, to prove how obsessed, and sad,
Hughes was!!!
It was the Directors, only film, and from this result, one can see why!!
By the time the film was released,the cold war was obsolete, the planes were obsolete,and the whole film, was obsolete!!
Its reviews were devastating, critics were embarrassed,
of how outrageous and silly it all was, and the audiences agreed.
Rating 3/10 for the silliness![snapback]25989[/snapback]
Wow, Keith, this is pretty biting criticism!
In talking about this movie before, the general concensus was that it wasn't one of his better movies, but it had some neat flying scenes, which made up for it.
We enjoyed seeing Chilibill's latest addition to his web site regarding Jet Pilot.
