Review of Aces High (1976) by Doug M — 18 Jul 2013
Pretty good World War I period piece with some fine performances (particularly from Christopher Plummer) and excellent aerial action sequences. Unfortunately, the direction is uneven and includes some jarring mixing of lighthearted music and dialogue with somber situations, making some of the acting feel forced and giving the whole film an unpolished feel.
Still, it gives us a good picture of the typically short lives of RFC pilots, and it does make us care about them, so it's a good film despite its rough edges. Three stars.
