The Court-Martial of Billy Mitchell 01/21/25

KL Studio Classics
Blu-ray

While gearing up to take on the hypocrisy of the Production Code, producer-director Otto Preminger hired out for Milton Sperling & Gary Cooper’s ode to an aviator-warrior who fought against the War Office. To air his grievances and promote Air Power., General William Mitchell forced a military trial that destroyed his career; his superiors almost succeded in silencing him. The big trial scene hands the stage over to Rod Steiger. Other notables are Ralph Bellamy, Charles Bickford, Jack Lord, and in her first film, Elizabeth Montgomery. On Blu-ray from KL Studio Classics.
