Plots(1)
WWII. The "Blue Max", a coveted medal for achievement in flying, is ruthlessly sought by Peppard, a poor-boy German soldier who climbs out of the trenches and into the aristocratic air force. He is met with prejudice by the other contestants, wealthy snobs who look down upon his low economic stature. When he claims the title, he earns the respect of the General and the General's wife (Andress), who wants to repay him in ways that the General might not appreciate. Peppard, on the other hand, does. Fantastic aerial combat highlights the film, although the scenes between the two lovers don't hurt matters much. (official distributor synopsis)

This war movie is well shot and has moments that can pull you in, where you think it's going to be great. But then the feeling suddenly fades and you find yourself not really enjoying it. Then something else again. And then nothing. Luckily, Ursula Andress saves the day, and she's incredibly sexy.
