holy crap...
...if there was ever an example of how good "character" actors can be, it's this film. they shine!
and every single time corrigan opens his yap proves my point.
holy crap indeed.
but it says they paid him $100,000 for his story!

I didn't mind that Corrigan was a lousy actor and probably neither did the public in his day who knew all about his exploits. It's still an entertaining (thanks to the supporting players) look at his spot in aviation history.
Okay folks, show's over, nothing to see here!
Though it isn't really fair to call him a bad or "lousy" actor since he wasn't an actor at all -- this was his sole venture into acting and the narrative and supporting actors (Paul Kelly and Robert Armstrong) are what carry this picture, regardless.

I hope you enjoyed talking to yourself.
Character actors could be good or bad - it depends which ones you're talking about. The subject here is Corrigan, who was neither a character actor nor any other kind of actor. He was paid to impersonate himself in this one film, and in my opinion he succeeded admirably in the circumstances.
