Despite a star-making performance from Jonathan Majors, the Korean War film Devotion never flies as high as it aims to
Powell gets to strut and flirt when the squadron stops for a brief break in the South of France. That interlude acts as a fun time for the audience too as Brown meets Elizabeth Taylor and she invites them for a night out on the town. However, Majors is stuck playing the square as the screenplay deprives him of showing different facets of Brown or his own screen persona.
The film also presents a rather uncomplicated marriage between Brown and his wife, Daisy . It’s so neatly packaged, it borders on hagiographic. They are always absolutely supportive and loving towards each other at all times with no hint of how a real marriage functions. The way these two relationships are presented shows the filmmakers’ admirable attempt to pay respectable tribute to the memory of the Brown and Hudner families.
