I aim for the stars, but . . .
21 July 2003 | by (tampa, florida) – See all my reviews

A passe hagiography of the life of Werner von Braun, a great rocket engineer with a questionable past. It's original title was "I Aim For the Stars." The best line I ever heard about this film was: "I aim for the stars, but sometimes I hit London."
