Flat Top (1952)



Here is my first post of a short review of Flat Top from 1952. This film stars: Sterling Hayden, Richard Carlson, Keith Larsen, Bill Phipps, Phyllis Coates, John Broomfield with William Schallert and is directed by Lesley Selander.

Sterling Hayden plays Commander Dan Collier who trains Navy Carrier Pilots during the Second World War while battling the kind Lieutenant Joe Rodgers (Richard Carlson), who is more concerned with being popular with his men then a leader. The film uses actual newsreel footage.




This film was distributed by Olive Films and provides a good video and audio quality for the DVD version. The film is presented in color, Full screen and runs for about 85mins (1hr 25mins). There isn't any special features included on this release.

I would give this film a 6/10 and the DVD a 3.5/5. Overall this is a decent DVD release and is a film I would recommend.
