Movie review - "Thunderbirds" (1952) **

 Republic Pictures splashing a bit of cash for them, borrowing John Derek from Columbia. He appears opposite John Drew Barrymore - they're two mates in love with the same gal (Eileen Christy), and there's tough sergeant (Ward Bond), and another tough sergeant (Gene Evans).  Mona Freeman is a gal who rocks up very quickly after Christy picks Derek.

Support cast features people like Barton MacLane and Slim Pickens.

Some novelty in that the lead two are members of the Oklahoma National Guard and they have Indian mascots and there's an Indian motif going through the film.

The film seems to go for a long time. It was dull.
