The Court-Martial of Billy Mitchell
“He defied the army and navy . . . and they gave him a Court Martial!”
DramaWar
A dramatization of the American general and his court martial for publically complaining about High Command's dismissal and neglect of the aerial fighting forces.
VIBE
A serious, earnest drama about a principled man fighting a rigid system. It feels like a grand, old-fashioned Hollywood production, full of conviction and patriotic fervor, even as it depicts a man facing severe consequences for his beliefs.
