The Dawn Patrol Ratings & Reviews
Alternate Ending
Tim Brayton
Uses dialogue in a surprising, even radical way, and that's directly related to the queasy emotional experience it generates overall.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
Young recruits are sent airborne toward certain death, but Hawks locates a strange joy in their grim fate.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Retains a certain power because of its great aerial footage.
CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
A thoroughgoing blueprint for Hawksian valor
ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Donald J. Levit
Howard Hawks's compact economy and avoidance of stylistic razzle-dazzle allowed for concentration on storytelling, to great effect.
