Idiotic Dialogue Mars A Decent Film Idea

James Dunn is a racing pilot. He also seems to be a member of the He-Man Woman Haters Club. He particularly has it in for Frances Gifford (his real-life wife at the time). She keeps beating him in all the races. He takes a job as a test pilot for the Mercy Plane, which is a hospital plane that can do vertical landings. But unknown to her, Miss Gifford's brother, William Pawley, is not just a simple plane manufacturer who is backing her racing. He's also the head of a ring hi-jacking (in the most literal sense) planes and selling them across borders.

It's a potentially interesting idea that's squashed by a script with horrid dialogue and poor dialogue direction by Richard Harlan. He was born in Lima Peru, and had directed several movies in Argentina before this. After this, he directed several movies in Mexico; I think it's an easy inference that he had issues with the English language, and the producing company, which would soon become PRC, couldn't afford a dialogue director.
