Carol Brown:
Well, I've looked at other men.
Tim Baker:
Maybe, but I'll bet you didn't look at them the same way you looked at me that first night in Kansas City. Remember?... You were going east, and I was going west; then we saw each other, and I was going east!

Power at his most charming., 23 June 1999
Author:
David Atfield (bits@alphalink.com.au) from Canberra, Australia
Tyrone Power is so charismatic in this film that the rest of it hardly
matters.His astonishing good looks and easy charm really make this film.
But there is also good direction, a witty script, great Oscar-winning
special effects and fine cinematography.Betty Grable has never done much for me, but she's pleasant enough in
this.
But the aerial work, done mostly with models, is exceptionally strong
particularly in a spectacular and believable recreation of the evacuation
at
Dunkirk.This is a war propaganda film, designed to encourage the USA to
join the war in Europe - but it is not cloyingly over patriotic.And
there
are some very original moments - look at the scene where Power wakes up
and
doesn't know where he is.The camera stays in extreme close-up on his
face
for a long time, so we don't know where he is either.We see him go
through
fear and bewilderment as we hear strange sounds.Finally his face relaxes
and the camera pulls back to reveal...well I don't want to spoil it for
you,
but this is a very strong directorial decision.Henry King is to be
praised.You'll enjoy this film.
