Clark Gable, who flew bombing missions over Europe during World War Two, plays an Army Air Force general whose men endure staggering casualties in daring daylight raids on industrial targets in Germany. Walter Pidgeon plays Gable's commander, a diplomat whose more cautious approach gets on Gable's nerves. Many cigars are smoked in a movie that's mostly talk. Good thing we won the war before we ran out of cigars.
