Title: Tom Selleck on the Big Screen...
Review: A rich, spoiled, blonde heiress needs to find her father, missing somewhere in civil war-torn China, or risk losing access to the family fortune. The rich spoiled heiress (Bess Armstrong) hires Patrick O'Malley (Tom Selleck), a washed-up former World War I aviator with an alcohol problem, to take her to China. Of course, nothing will be easy for these two misfits...including getting along with each other.Such is the premise of "High Road to China", one of Tom Selleck's rare forays onto the big screen. The movie didn't get much attention during its original theatrical release, but it is a fun movie that deserves a second look. There are some great flying sequences featuring World War I bi-planes, lots of action in China, a 1920's setting with all the trimmings, and a predictable but family-safe romance. Veteran character actor Jack Weston does a great job as O'Malley's faithful aircraft mechanic. "High Road to China" is recommended to Tom Selleck fans.
