    Lilac Time review

    Dashing young WWI pilot Gary Cooper falls for village girl Colleen Moore in this late silent. It's well-staged and the aerial fights and crashes are shot well, but I can't shake the feeling that they shied away from the tragic ending towards which the movie seems to be heading.
