| Thomas Jefferson OâToole (james Cagney) knows all about flying. He knows how to ease his biplane into the air, bank it through one acrobatic spin after another, then drop it down for a perfect three-point landing. O'Toole, a cocksure former barnstormer, knows everything about f1ying...except how to fly for the Marines. OâToole transforms from brash stunt pilot to disciplined military aviator in this armed- services salute thatâs the second of Cagney and Pat OâBrienâs nine screen pairings. Familiar and welcome faces include Margaret Lindsay and Frank McHugh, who respectively appeared in five and 12 Cagney movies. And Lloyd Bacon, Cagney's director nine times, guides the brisk storyline that includes a fascinating mock- invasion training maneuver involving air, sea and land forces. |
