    Brian Donlevy ("Capt. Mercer") has to knock three rookies into shape after they join the US Army Air Corps to fight in WWII. Ray Milland is cocky playboy "Jeff"; William Holden the aspiring mechanic "Ludlow" and Wayne Morris the all-American college boy "Tom". The film follows their training for and eventual participation in the war, and to that extent it almost serves as an engaging training film depicting the broader efforts of this less heralded service during the war. The rest of it runs way too much to romantic slapstick for my liking. The men are vying for the attentions of photographer "...
