Review of The Wings of Eagles (1957) by Tiffany V — 25 Jul 2006
Despite the title and time frame this isn't a typical war movie. This movie is a biography and persoanl study of obsessiveness and dedication that's necessary in the technological nature of warfare today.
In one respect it's too bad that the movie stars John Wayne because expectation is that it would feature gung ho performance. Instead it's an amazing acting effort by Wayne as a suffering, crippled, insensitive Navy officer and author whose vision and commitment made much of Naval air force poissble.
It's an excellent performance by John Wayne and almost a stretch for him.
