Reach for the Sky Ratings & Reviews
Variety
Variety Staff
From the cocky young recruit's first day at the training station through all the gay comradeship and hazards of flying, Kenneth More (Bader) depicts with unerring skill the humor, friendliness and supreme fortitude of one of the war's most honored heroes.
Movie Metropolis
John J. Puccio
Kenneth More's performance is at the heart of it all, a bigger-than-life realization that is hard to resist.
