    I found this review on the internet:

    "I was excited to finally find this film again. As a child growing up in Aberdeen North Carolina I watched parts of this movie being made in aberdeen. It brought back memories of places there long gone. I watched the part where bobby diamond gets out of the old pick up at the railroad tracks and the part filmed at McCrummens drug store. A good film to bring back memories."

    I found this review on the internet:

    "The story of a new paratrooper in the 82nd division of the army. Eddie Slocum is a wet behind the ears kid who has dreams of becoming a paratrooper just like his Uncle Charlie. He meets up with a motley of crew members all from different backgrounds, like Rocky, the bully of the group, and Mouse, the uh, jive-talking "lover" of the group. They all get put through exercises, and actually this is all very interesting. Some 'Drama' develops when Eddie meets a doe-eyed country girl by the name of Jenny May. All in all, I enjoyed this."
