Your probably right...I haven't seen the movie for a few years.

Alan Ladd was a pretty good actor, I really like the film-noir movies he made with Veronica Lake.

"Jet Pilot" with John Wayne and Janet Leigh has some good footage in it... I think it was filmed around the time of the Korean war but it wasn't released for almost 8 years after filming had ended...nun-the-less their is some good scenes in it (Starfires and B36's).
