It's a star-studded international film, with Edward G. Robinson and Bessie Love as a couple in Arizona; Robinson is the instructor whose training will make or break Attenborough and Watling. The story sometimes skirts being purely conventional. However Attenborough is so darned youthful and heartsore that it never ceases to be interesting, and the sequence where the crew has to get out of a downed plane as it sinks into the sea is genuinely frightening.
