Movie
Aces High
Synopsis
First World War drama. It's 1917 and naive young officer Stephen Croft is posted to the Royal Flying Corps squadron in France, where he's commanded by his schoolboy hero Major John Gresham. But he finds Gresham is now drinking heavily in an attempt to steady nerves that have been shot to pieces by the remorseless loss of his pilots to the hostilities. The film's central anti-war theme rings loud and strong, and the aerial combat sequences provide a realistic combination of thrill and horror. With Christopher Plummer and John Gielgud. Directed by Jack Gold.
