Title: STAR SYSTEM IN ACTION
Product review: This movie is a classic example of big contract stars struttung their routine stuff. Probably most of its budget went on casting Clark Gable; it is his presence that would've compelled the movie audience to go see it. To give it a decent rating would be like rating a local TV new bulletin. It's not good, it's not bad; it does its job. BAND OF ANGELS kept more innocent moviegoing audiences of its day sufficiently enthralled to make it a success. For those reasons- and its color and technical proficiency- it is a historical record of Hollywood dishing 1950 punters, and Gable fans, with what they thought wanted to see that week.
