In this 1955 Otto Preminger film, Gary Cooper stars as World War I hero Brigadier General Billy Mitchell. The film recounts Mitchell's efforts to prove the viability of a strong air force. The hidebound military higher-ups refuse to finance aviation any further, figuring that the strength of the United States lies in its navy. When a friend is killed by flying a faulty plane, Mitchell charges the War and Navy department with incompetence and criminal negligence. When the brass tries to quietly court-martial Mitchell, they are forced into the open by the strength of public opinion, largely in Mitchell's favor. Subjected to the grilling of prosecutor Alan Guillon (Rod Steiger) during his trial, Mitchell sticks to his guns, even outlining a potential Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor unless the military wises up and strengthens its air power. Elizabeth Montgomery makes her film debut in the role of Margaret Landsdowne. Hal Erickson, Rovi

Gary Cooper is amazing as Billy Mitchell. The other actors are great also--Charles Bickford, Ralph Bellamy among them. And special note of the excellent acting of Rod Steiger who was outstanding also.

I lived in WI near Bily Mitchell Field for years but never knew anything about the man. It took a trip to Alaska to find out that he has a very interseting history. His picture is hanging on the wall in a mining camp here. The owner of the camp told me about the movie.
Not a waste of time or money.
