Will cute flight nurse Joan Leslie fall for air force pilot stud Forrest Tucker or wimpy helicopter pilot and 3rd string actor Arthur Franz? Here is the dilemma that has to be resolved in about and hour and a half. It's all happening during the Korean War so there's bombs and lots of stock war footage.
Flight Nurse is full of Korean War propaganda which uncomfortably sounds like World War II war propaganda. Instead of Japs it's now Commies and the propaganda is constant not very subtle or particularly well written
The picture was made at cheapskate Republic Studios and directed by and old silent film guy Allan Dwan who was probably wrapping up his career. Dwan had been around so long he had a list of around 400 films he signed off on.
Flight Nurse is supposed based on the life of a real nurse but let's hope the real individual had a more interesting life that this disappointing film. Kind of a time waster.
90 minutes, written by Alan Le May.
