Douglas Sirk's polished transcription of William Faulkner's Pylon, a tale of barnstorming pilots between world wars, might be easy to overlook among his Universal Studio melodramas of the Fifties: it's in ungaudy black-and-white, for starters, and the milieu is more that of Hawks and Wellman. The resulting losses are mainly in the area of campiness, not entirely a bad thing. The cast is much the same as in Written on the Wind -- Rock Hudson, Robert Stack, Dorothy Malone -- and as before, Hudson can't keep pace. (1958) — Duncan Shepherd
