He did an awful lot B&W's.. for example Sabotage!, Rebecca, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Notorious..
I know he did, he made a lot of movies.  But the ones I remember well (Ex. The Birds, Rear Window, Vertigo) I think were all in color -- or perhaps that awful "colorized" garbage they were all into for so many years.  By comparison, of the four you name, two titles sound familiar, but I couldn't tell you a thing about them.  Not sure if it would be the same for many other people.

Good film. Unfortunately, every time I see Errol Flynn now, I picture him in that stupid "Big Daddy" pressure suit from "Dive Bomber". :lol

I loved "Dive Bomber" - all those pre-WWII yellow winged navy planes - what's not to like there?  And actual aircraft, not today's hokey looking CGI stuff.  I'd still like to know what the "RAF Fighter" in that movie was.  Looks like some kind of Italian job, Maachi 200?  IDK, but still overall a good movie.

A lot of the "actual aircraft" in the movies of that period are actually model airplanes (don't recall the specifics of "Dive Bomber" though). I just remember that Wiley Post pressure helmet.

Just realized... John Wayne: The Searchers.

Great movie :aok, but I think you've got the color saturation on your TV turned way down.  ;)

The greatest War movie was also the first "anti-war movie".

All Quiet on the Western Front. B&W/1930. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0020629/
