...city government of Champaign, Ill. Indicted for the murder of Sophomore William Spurrier of the University of Illinois was Mrs. Margaret Strothers, Negro proprietress of the bawdy house. Indicted for intentional dereliction of duty in not suppressing vice were Champaign's Mayor James D. Flynn, Chief of Police Roy Argo, State's Attorney Fred B. Hamill, former Sheriff Clarence W. Roth and four city commissioners...
Dodge City's première was the most notable thing about it. The picture itself is a good, noisy Technicolor, flag-waving Western, enlivened by Ann Sheridan, Olivia de Havilland, Errol Flynn and a knock-down drag-out saloon fight.

David Niven as Scottie, the happy-go-lucky fight leader, steals acting honors even from Basil Rathbone, who gives a profound interpretation of the nerve-ridden squadron commander. Errol Flynn is of course a dashing, handsome hero, but even his acting is at times excellent. Skillful direction has made intensely moving the pathos, and vividly contrasting the humor, of the simple plot--which deals merely with the day to day experiences of a World War British Flying Corps...
