Five Came Back Ratings & Reviews
Mister Arn
June 19, 2024
Imagine a time when a pilot could rebuild the motor of his crashed passenger plane in the jungle. That time was 1939, depicted in Dalton Trumbo's "Five Came Back." This story, penned by one of my favorite screenwriters, features Lucille Ball as a fallen angel infatuated with the pilot, adding a layer of romantic drama to the struggle for survival. It's not a masterpiece, but it's definitely watchable.
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
...watchable yet mostly forgettable...
The Film Yap
Christopher Lloyd
A prototypical B-movie adventure/thriller that rises above the shortcomings of its production values.
Sarasota Herald-Tribune
Christopher Lloyd
In many ways, the film can be seen as a precursor to the modern disaster flicks that had their heyday in the 1970s, and then another one in the '90s.
