Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
The machine guns are real machine guns, the bombs are real bombs, the drum of motors is the drum of genuine motors. But the actors themselves are false, puny, inadequate, the only real automatons in a world of vital steel.

It's no sappy, imbecilic tale.

The end result is barely adequate. But it does feature a spectacularly elaborate World War I dogfight, and an equally fine Zeppelin sequence. And of course there's Harlow.

These air scenes, with the crashing of flaming planes, have never been matched on the screen.
