A
Gathering Of Eagles (1963)
Synopsis: A Gathering of
Eagles stars Rock Hudson as a colonel in the peacetime Strategic Air Command.
His devotion to his duty as a wing commander takes a toll on his men, his
marriage, and his own well-being.
It is to Hudson's credit that he was
willing to put his image on the line with this essentially unsympathetic
characterization, and a tribute to his underrated ability as an actor that he
compels us to care for him.
Popular British leading lady Mary Peach
makes a rare Hollywood appearance as Hudson's English wife. An unexpected bonus
to A Gathering of Eagles is a semicomic musical piece, "The SAC Song," by
dilettante satirist Tom Lehrer. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie
