It's been many years since I watched Blowing Wind. One of those in-between films that a cast of fine actors can't turn into a memorable entertainment effort. Even the great Barbara Stanwyck couldn't save this one. Cooper and Quinn were coming off their Oscar wins for High Noon and Viva Zapata, respectively, yet neither actor rises above mediocre. Two quality character actors, Ward Bond and Ruth Roman, were wasted in this film. I would expect more from a Philip Yordan script too. I think this one might have shown better in color. The drabness of the cinematography and the lackluster script makes for a forgettable movie. The direction is nothing to brag about either. Worth a look, nothing more.
