Wissenswertes

Sky Commando is a 1953 American war film released by Columbia Pictures, directed by Fred F. Sears and starring Dan Duryea, Frances Gifford and Mike Connors. The Cold War period provides the background, although the plot concerns a flashback to World War II aerial action.

Production

Sky Commando was a typical Fred F. Sears actioner, combining an array of stock footage with live action. As one of the many features that Sears helmed in a very short period, the film was a "B" feature, although it did star Duryea, Gifford and future TV star Mike Connors.

In an interview with Tom Weaver, Mike Connors recalled they were told that the last two days shooting of their six-day filming schedule was technically unsuitable. Connors and Duryea assumed they would make money with two more days shooting, but producer Sam Katzman informed the pair that he made their re shooting the film unnecessary by using more aircraft stock footage.
