Great Actors from the Past
15 August 2006
Enjoyed this great cast of veteran actors and a very good story about a burned out war pilot, played by Robert Stack, who winds up in a carnival featuring planes flying in races. Stack's sidekick and mechanic is Jack Carson, (Jiggs),"Cat on a Hot Tin Roof",'58, who does everything that Stack desires. Dorothy Malone, is Stacks wife who sort of sky dives in a long white dress and gives all the boys a thrill of their lives in 1958. Rock Hudson,(Burke Devlin),"Darling Lili",'70 is a newspaper reporter who is a drunk and is trying to get a story about this former ace pilot. There is a point in the story which turns me off, it is when Robert Stack needs a new plane and offers his wife to spend the night with Robert Middleton,(Matt Ord),(a real slim ball)

"Cattle King",'63 in order to obtain this plane, a so called sexual trade so to speak. Yet he claims he loves her very much. If you like to look back in the past, and like these actors, this is definitely the film to view.
