This is the film which launched the movie career of the late, great Marlon Brando. Brando's performance as a disabled fighter pilot is terrific and ground breaking.
The trouble is that he is very out of place in the rest of the film.
The film is melodramatic OTT nonsense, all the other characters are clichés and the music is horribly dated. Brando's performance is the only thing that prevented the film descending into obscurity.
Definitely watch this film for Marlon Brando's heartbreaking and tremendously believable performance, but it's certainly no masterpiece and without Brando it wouldn't even be a good film.
