I enjoy Tom Selleck as an actor, Bess Armstrong, the leading lady, I know nothing about; but from a ‘writer’s’ viewpoint, what a marvelous yarn to spin?
“High Road to China”, like many, many other films, I like to revisit once a year or so, to remind myself, depending on the film, of what it is to write and dream and create stories in print or on film.

I love this movie. It is one of my favorites!, 3 March 2001

“…While true that this movie isn't Academy Award material, it is very enjoyable and touchingly romantic. The scenery is breathtaking at times and the film flows well. It starts in a party atmosphere and becomes a romantic adventure story. It is a good cross between a "Chick Flick" and an adventure story. I have flown open cockpit biplanes and perhaps that makes the film even more enduring for me.
There is plenty of flying and small war skirmishes are smattered in with the search for a rich brat's father. She (Bess Armstrong as Eve Tozer) must find the father and get him to a British court before the deadline or she will lose all of her money. If the partner, Bentik, can have Bradley Tozer (Wilford Brimley) declared as dead in a British court then he gets the whole company; thus relieving Eve Tozer of the heaps of her fathers money. And it is about money that this girl lives for, or so it seems. She enlists the help of a derelict and decrepit old WW1 ace, Tom Selleck, who has the only two available airplanes to get her to her father in time. Assassins are employed by Bradley Tozers partner to keep him from being found adding more tension to the already danger filled trail.
While the romance angle is as predictable as it is in just about any film, the story does flow well and the scenery also helps to keep ones interest….”
