The story is of the everyday life of a wing commander and the decisions he must make regardless of wife, friends or extenuating circumstances. Col. Jim Caldwell (Rock Hudson) has a new task of shaping up a strategic air force wing during the 60's that is not up to snuff. Ton top of this he is newly married and his wife (Mary Peach) does not know what she is in for. Can he maintain friendships or at least discipline when he as you would expect must turn ruthless in his endeavor? <br /> <br />This movie is more than surface entertainment. As Col. Caldwell learns how to handle his job, we also learn something of the human condition, and soon are part of the story. <br />
Viewer Reviews
I liked the movie. I was in it when it was filmed at Beale AFB, CA
in 1963. I was a Security Policeman on the flight line and we, as
well as our aircrews and missle crews were used as background players.
SAC, with a little human dramatization, was pretty well portrayed with
the ORI (Operational Readiness Inspection) which typically hit about 2 AM
as a No Notice inspection by 15th Air Force.
When the end of the movie came and they showed a missle launch crew,
it was filmed at a Titan I site, and the launch crew and their dialogue
was real. They were not actors.
I would like to see this movie made into a DVD. I used to rent until
I got one that ruined my VCR after use by another renter who damaged the
tape and of course didn't tell anyone.
