Movie Reviews of Captains of the Clouds
Movie Review: "Cagney at his cockiest ... Michael Curtiz (Director)"
Summary: 5 Stars
Warner Bros. Pictures presents "CAPTAINS OF THE CLOUDS" (21 February 1942) (114 min/Color) (Fully Restored/Dolby Digitally Remastered) -- Cagney in (his first Technicolor appearance) plays Brian MacLean, a hotshot Canadian bush pilot who delights in stealing jobs (and women) away from his competitors --- Brian is forced to shape up in a hurry when he's assigned to train other pilots for the Royal Canadian Air Force --- At the ending of the training period, he is given his first real RCAF assignment --- The seemingly unimportant task of shepherding American bomber planes across the Atlantic to England --- With startling suddenness, Brian comes to realize the true importance of his job when he is forced into a deadly confrontation with a fleet of Nazi raider planes.
A role most suited to Cagney at his cockiest!
Real-life Canadian WW1 flying ace Billy Bishop plays a small but pivotal role.
Cinematographer Sol Polito earned an Oscar nomination for his vivid color photography, a further nomination went to Ted Smith & Casey Roberts for Art Direction.
