the dawn patrol

| No Comments

August 21 movie: The Dawn Patrol. You might think from this and Charge of the Light Brigade that it was Errol Flynn day on TCM. But actually it was David Niven day. This one was a war movie featuring Niven and Flynn as WWI biplane flyers who treat it all as a game -- at least at first -- while their commander, Basil Rathbone, is consumed by the stress of sending men to their deaths. Have I ever mentioned how much I love Basil Rathbone? Donald Crisp is also excellent.
