FLYBOYS
(a film review by Mark R. Leeper)

CAPSULE: This story of the men in the Lafayette
Escadrille does a lot that is historically accurate
and should be interesting. But the script seems
little more than a rehash of films that have been
done before. The filmmakers did just about
everything right, but there is too much in the film
that is overly familiar. Rating: high +1 (-4 to +4)
or 6/10

It has been quite a while since we have seen a film about World
War I flying. With all the fragile biplanes and triplanes in
dogfights and the style and chivalry of the fliers, this can be
pretty...
