“I Cover the War” trades in John Wayne’s cowboy hat for a newsreel camera, casting him as a war correspondent filming British forces in the Middle East. It’s a low-budget film that aims to mix journalism, action, and espionage, but never fully finds its footing. If you're in the mood for pulpy adventure, it’s fast-paced and uncomplicated. But it’s all forward motion with little emotional weight. More curious than classic, it stands as a relic of its era.
