This is a docudrama at best, and that director, with those actors, was not the right man to make a docudrama.
Though well-crafted, it seems more geared for aviation buffs than a general audience.
Audience Reviews for Dive Bomber
For whatever reason, the combination of director Michael Curtiz and Errol Flynn always works. This is very much a flag waving propaganda film, and it is done very well. Some great cinematography, and color too, Max Steiner?s score is very well done. Well cast, Fred MacMurray is more effective than he usually is and Errol Flynn is always a pleasure to watch. It is a bit overlong.
