Brady (John Savage) is an American bomber pilot during World War II. While flying over Nazi-occupied Hungary, Brady and his navigator, Swede (Matyas Usztic), are forced to bail out. The good news is that they don't fall into the hands of the Germans; the bad news is that they're captured by a nomadic tribe who hate Americans and Germans with equal fervor. Fortunately, the nomads agree to hide the wounded pilots from the enemy. Though Swede dies, Brady assimilates himself into rural Hungarian society, falling in love with Klara (Ildikó Bánsági) and virtually adopting war orphan Miki (Kelly Reno). The last reels of the film are devoted to Brady's efforts to escape Hungary and join the Yugoslav partisans. This pulse-pounding actioner was released in England as The Long Ride. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The Quinns follows the exploits of four generations of an Irish-American family. Much of the screen time is spent on domestic problems regarding growing pains, romance, and the generation gap. Amidst these personal travails, director Dan Petrie inserts several moderately exciting fire sequences involving the firefighting members of the Quinn family, intercut with stock shots of actual conflagrations. The Quinns was well cast and attractively assembled but failed to sell as a series. Perhaps the "firehouse" concept had already been played to death by the popular series Emergency, while the "extended family" notion had been exhausted by such series as The Waltons and Eight is Enough. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
