Properly impressed by the dramatic fact that people who were children in 1903 had barely reached middle age by the time Franco's bombers were pounding Barcelona, Director Wellman, who helped concoct his own story, tried to reflect the whole bright saga of flying through the prism of a conventional triangle plot.

Happiness, pathos, sentimentality, escapism, the emotions that characterized the years are all there, woven into a curious unity by a composer who has always written for the rank and file. It is pleasant to record that since the picture was first...
