5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Classic!, Aug 9 2001
This review is from: Command Decision (VHS Tape)
I would call this one a "guy's film". This is a late 1940's, post war film with Clark Gable, dealing with a WW2 subject rarely discussed: day-light bombing vs night-time bombing. In those days, most nations believed it was not worth the human loss; but Americans thought it was more effective than night-time bombing. In America's first 18 months of WW2 (Jan 1942-June 1943), we lost a large percentage of our bombers to German aircraft and flak. This film accurately portrays how the Commanders, pilots, the American press & people had to wrestle with the bad-news of human losses from those early WW2 days.

This is a "war film" with little or no fighting action, but concentrates from the Commander's view from an English home base. This film wins very high kudos for the exceptionaly well acted roles and dialogue from the master himself (Gable), as a Brigadier General commanding his own bomber Division. But it gets even better: this film boasts exceptional talent from famous lead & charachter actors in supporting roles: Walter Pidgeon as Gable's 2-star General boss; Van Johnson as the smart-aleck "know-it-all" Enlisted man who adores Gable as a man & leader; John Hodiak as a squadron leader/Gable subordinate & Gable's personal friend; Edward Arnold as a visiting Congressman investigating the high manpower losses; Charles Bickford as the probing newsman who's also concerend; and Bryan Donlevy!

I bought it and highly recommend it!

5.0 out of 5 stars "COMMAND DECISION", May 28 2000
This review is from: Command Decision (VHS Tape)
This movie from 1948-49 is one of the very best movies about the U.S.A.A.F in World War II EVER made, and without a doubt one of Clark Gable's finest. Excellent cast too. If I could, I would have given it 8 stars.

This review is from: Command Decision (VHS Tape)
This movie beats out 12 O'Clock High in my book--It focuses on a conflict of priorities between commanders. Gable is the obvious hero, but it is clear that his boss, looking at the "Big Picture" may have a point as well. If nothing else, entertaining for illustrating the maneuvering over public image that sometimes drove military strategy, even in the years before CNN.
