SLATTERY'S HURRICANE (1949) ¢ ¢ 1/2
D: Andre De Toth
Richard Widmark, Linda Darnell, Veronica Lake,
John Russell, Gary Merrill, Walter Kingsford
Richard Widmark plays an ex-Navy pilot who flies into the eye of a hurricane in an apparent attempt to rise above an otherwise earthbound plot. Linda Darnell and Veronica Lake play the women in his life, and John Russell, looking like a stand-in for Randolph Scott, plays an old buddy from the war. The airplane-against-the-storm stuff is okay, but the movie spends way too much time on the ground.
