VHS Movie Reviews of Big Lift
Movie Review: Authentic portrayal of post-war WWII Europe
Summary: 4 Stars
Having never heard of "BIG LIFT" before a friend lent his DVD copy to me to watch, I was pleasantly surprised at how authentic the movie showed post WWII Europe, particularly the living conditions in Germany. As a former Air Force man, I was thrilled with the aircraft scenes as well as the ground approach radar scenes!
Even though the movie was a little drawn out, the plot was good, and the acting was top notch. I thought Paul Douglas was the real star of the movie, not Montgomery Clift, who still did a credible performance.
One little interesting detail at the very end of the movie was that the military lineup showing the men in uniform showed some of the staff wearing Army stripes, and some using Air Force stripes.
The U.S. Air Force (formerly the U.S. Army Air Corps) became a separate branch of the Armed Forces on Sept. 18, 1947. The Berlin Airlift took place from June 1948 to May 1949. The Air Force was slow to change from Army chevrons to Air Force chevrons, so there was a time when the fledgling Air Force had a hodgepodge of both types of stripes. Some wore Army Air Corps green uniforms while some were issued the newer Air Force blue uniforms. This movie was made in 1950. I believe by 1950, most of the Air Force had switched to A.F. blue uniforms with and A.F. chevrons.
