The dawn patrol 1938 - They roared through the dawn... with death on their wings


IMDB link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0030044/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1
IMDB rating: 7,7


Director: Edmund Goulding
Main Cast: Errol Flynn, Basil Rathbone, David Niven, Donald Crisp, Barry Fitzgerald



"The Dawn Patrol is a good example of how a remake can improve on the original version. John Monk Saunders's Oscar-winning story provides a solid basis for the efforts of screenwriters Seton Miller and Dan Totheroh. Though director Edmund Goulding stays safely within the guidelines of the war genre, Dawn Patrol shows the varying attitudes of the aviators toward combat, and particularly toward enemy pilots. Complementing the material is a star-laden cast led by the charismatic team of Errol Flynn and Basil Rathbone, and featuring solid supporting work from David Niven, Donald Crisp, and Melville Cooper. Brought to the screen with Warner Bros.' customary high production values, Dawn Patrol provides an excellent showcase for its stars, representing another winning entry in Goulding's prolific career." - http://www.allmovie.com/movie/the-dawn-patrol-v12575/
