The incomparable James Cagney stars with Dennis Morgan, Brenda Marshall and Alan Hale in his first Technicolor feature, once again reunited with Warner Bros.' legendary Michael Curtiz at the helm. Cagney portrays pilot Brian MacLean, a hot-shot Canadian pilot who is just as adept at stealing flying jobs from his competition as he is at stealing their girlfriend's hearts. But when he hears a speech by British Prime Minister Winston Churchill about the looming Nazi threat, MacLean enlists in the Royal Canadian Air Force . . . only to find his superior is a man from whom he stole both a job and a girl--and to encounter action and adventure in aerial combat over the North Atlantic. This was the first Hollywood production to be filmed almost entirely on location in Canada, and was released right after the U.S. entered WWI

I wanted to like it but it's pretty clunky. Also I could have disliked it more because of the breakdown (iirc they didn't play the breakdown reel, or if they did play it, the breakdown itself took so long I forgot it played). may have to give it another chance without so many caveats.

“Well I think I can say there were a few that had no involvement with Jackie Chan that were part of our DVD initiatives, and aired on our late lamented Warner Archive instant streaming service...which unfortunately was before its time..but we were showing HD masters on that service, and we were very proud of that...Some of the first releases we're looking at are films that were part of that initial group of DVD's. So I think that's a good hint..So keep your eyes out for more Golden Harvest"
