This would have been an okay typical romance of the period if it hadn't been so macho in its attitude towards women. Socialite marries Navy flyboy and can't adjust to Navy life, i.e. he's always leaving her alone for great periods of time, ordered here and there. The Navy's and the film's attitude is that a woman should not have a life of her own, but get used to the fact that she must sit and wait while her hubby does his job. Wendy Barrie and Ray Milland handle the leads well, but the repugnant attitude of the film is very off-setting. The cinematography deservedly earned an Oscar nom - fine composition on the ground and excellent aerial photography. In addition the fine score and good special effects deserved but did not get recognized by the Academy. This is an okay film but not worth going out of your way to see unless you are interested in the categories of Cinematography, Scoring and Special Effects.
