High Road to China

At last! After searching for this DVD for years I finally got my hands on it. Dutch Film Works released the DVD in Holland for a stunning 2.99 euro. I had this movie on VHS in the 80's but lost the tape. I just watched the movie again and it is still the terrific movie I had in mind. I never liked his role in Magnum P.I. but Tom Selleck is the perfect match for this WO I veteran pilot. My confession here in public: this was how I wanted to be back in 1983. Bess Armstrong plays the spoiled rich kid so fabulous. She always reminds me very strongly of a girlfriend of mine in those days. Not only the looks but also the behavior. Maybe that's the main reason why I love this movie so much? Anyway, the action is good, the music is amazing and the storyline is simple but well worked out. The hate/love relationship between Selleck and Armstrong is the best I've ever seen in a movie. It's almost unbelievable that these two actors went into oblivion. Even the director never made a movie after this one. A very, very underrated movie at IMDb. A crying shame.
