The Big Lift (1950)
3/10
Disjointed
9 May 2014
In 1948, the Soviet Union blockades the Allied sectors of Berlin to bring the entire city under their control.

A semi-documentary about the resulting Berlin Airlift gives way to stories of two fictitious U.S. Air Force participants: Sgt. Hank Kowalski, whose hatred of Germans proves resistant to change, and Sgt. Danny McCullough, whose pursuit of an attractive German war widow gives him a crash course in the seamy side of occupied Berlin.

I don't know what to make of this film. It's an oddball.

Part story telling part propaganda.

Monty Cliff is barely in the first half.

I didn't like it much. Too disjointed for me
