Dive Bomber (1941)
4/10
Plays out more like a newsreel, than a film.
31 July 2003
Dive Bomber is a movie that seems like it could be based on a true story, but the problem is it's just not that entertaining of a story or film. The film actually seems like a overlong newsreel about the importance of aviation and it's safety. Errol Flynn does a great job and so does Fred McMurray. But the rest of the cast is downright annoying, especially the one naval officer who has the problems with his sister. Ohh man, I have no idea what the filmmakers were thinking when they put that garbage in the film. I think that guy and Joe Brown have got to be probably the two most annoying actors to ever grace the big screen. I feel sorry for Olivia De Havilland, she had the wonderful oppurtunity to work with these two goof balls. In all not one of Errol Flynn's better films. *1/2 out of ****.
