The War Lover
1962
Two American B-17 pilots stationed in England during World War Two have contrasting attitudes to war and danger — one seeking thrills and glory, the other struggling with the weight of responsibility for his crew's lives. The film is a character study of courage and recklessness set against the backdrop of the strategic bombing campaign.
