It was I who voted for THATM. I don't really know if its one thing that I can put my finger on that makes me like this movie. Yes, it has its flaws. I think one of the things is that it has a strong character development. I like to see a movie where they give us the people's story, that way I can actually care about what might or is happening to them. The other thing is that its not Duke's typical roll. The first time I watched it, it was very refreshing to see John Wayne in this type of roll.

Hi RobbieOne of the problems with waiting for so long to see a film you have waited for years to see is that it sometimes fails to live up to the expectations and many people thought this would be tha case with The High And the Mighty.
In my case I enjoyed it the first time round and seeing it for the second time only brougt back the previous enjoyment.
As to the merits of whether its a good film or not this is down to conjecture. For me personally it was enjoyable and under that criteria I think its a good film.

I couldn't agree with you more Arthur. I was afraid that I wouldn't care far it because of all the hype from this board and the days before the release. But, I was pleasently surprised and find myself thinking about the film occasionally and have the need to see it again. That's how I can tell I like a film.
