But the only previous picture on the subject, 1955's Strategic Air Command, was just a big, slick, did-you-ever-see-such-a-crazy-tractor romance in which Jimmy Stewart fell in love with a $3,000,000 airplane and took off for Cloud Nine.

At times, the gusts seemed to come from every direction, spattering sand in players' faces, carrying well-stroked shots into the rough.
