About this product

Product Information

A courtroom drama based on the true story of an American general who was court-martialled for accusing the military of criminal negligence and incompetance. The time was 1925 and, in the wake of World War I, General Billy Mitchell considered the Army and Navy's failure to begin seriously building up the Air Force akin to treason. He said so publicly and, during the famous trial that followed, predicted a situation akin to the bombing of Pearl Harbor that would occur some two decades later.

  • A stimulating historical account!

    This is a film I have long had on my must-see list, and it didn't disappoint. Cooper plays the lone dedicated, iconic,air-power advocate fighting the rigidity of old-line military hatred of change. The supporting cast could not be better (Rod Steiger plays the Army's prosecuting attorney) and the plot unfolds with few if any digressions.This is a case where Hollywood seems to have deferred to history.

  • What a difference

    What a difference the older films have when compared with current offerings. Billy Mitchell is yet another older (1955) film with "real" acting in an interesting and informative film. "Spectacular" special effects? Nope, none; don't need 'em, want 'em.

  • Typical action of high ranking officers of the military

    The plot was engaging and it once again shows that once people attain a certain level of rank, they loose the ability to evaluate new ideas
