3/10

Too cheaply made to be taken seriously.

"Power Dive" is a picture from Pine-Thomas Productions...a branch of Paramount studios that exclusively made B-movies. Bs were short and relatively cheap full-length films intended to he shown as a second film in a double-feature. Some Bs managed to be very good....many others were just cheap and forgettable...like "Power Dive"!

Richard Arlen used to be an actor in top-tier films, such as "Wings" (1927). However, by the late 30s and early 40s, he was making Bs by the dozen. Most were enjoyable...few were outstanding. "Power Dive" doesn't quite manage to be enjoyable.

Brad (Arlen) is a test pilot. His dream is to come up with a plane made from plastic parts...but until this finale there is a girl (Jean Parker) and a few forgettable story elements. During all this, you have the extensive use of recycled footage as well as some cheaply made aerial sequences. The word to remember for all this...cheaply.

So is this any good? Well, it's not horrible. But unless you adore Bs and watch everyone you can find (like me), it's really not worth your time.

Quiz
The failure of the original copyright holder to renew the film's copyright resulted in it falling into public domain, meaning that virtually anyone could duplicate and sell a VHS/DVD copy of the film. Therefore, many of the versions of this film available on the market are either severely (and usually badly) edited and/or of extremely poor quality, having been duped from second- or third-generation (or more) copies of the film.
