Movie Haiku:Gorgeous leads (Holden & Kelly) in forgettable romance front a really interesting film about Korean War pilots based on a huge Pacific aircraft carrier. March, the ship’s Commander, pontificates a lot about duty & patriotism & the role of citizen soldiers in a democracy. While “speechy,” it’s ultimately very moving.
