Wings of the Hawk

As my sister says this is maybe the most view master like of all 3D movies. The depth perception is remarkable and well achieved without using many of the usual 3D "tricks" - although the scene where mine explodes throwing rocks to the camera is certainly impressive and the gun descending slowly to Van Heflin's from the roof is breathtaking, just as if could reach it yourself.

The story is about a group of partisans who fight against a corrupt official during the mexican revolution and a gold miner - always excellent Van Heflin - who helps them in order to recover his mine and ends falling in love with a young revolutionary woman - Julie Adams. A young Abbe Lane -who would marry musician Xavier Cugat- appears as Julie Adams' sister in an early role.

A lot of incidents took place while filming the movie, and many specialits got hurt. Miss Adams herself felt from her horse with no major injuries.

As all the originally 3D filmed movies this one greatly improves if watched in 3D, adding a lively touch to the movie.
