OK, so this is all opinion, but of all the movies you can find on DVD, why not High Road to China?Relatively big name actors, big name soundtrack.If you're looking for a great entertaining enjoyable movie you probably would enjoy this.Bess Armstrong is adorable in this movie.Although Tom Seleck doesn't turn in a lot of Oscar worthy performances, he does a good job in this movie and you cant help but hope he ends up capturing the heart of the spoiled rich girl(Bess Armstrong)I have been looking for this for years.Whichever studio owns this should put it on DVD with Seleck "Her Alibi" both good adventure/love stories.Gotta be enough Tom Seleck fans alone to make money on the release of the DVD in the United State.I really enjoyed this movie and think its about time to open it up to another generation.Dear movie studios:Please release this on DVD in the USA.Thank You

The last of a great breed. This is truly one of the last of the great classic films, and I enjoyed every minute of it. Simply put, films like this are a thing of the past, as has been shown in the last twenty years. They appeal to too narrow an audience by today's corporate marketing genius's standards (heavy sarcasm), and because of the cross market appeal this film has, it's guaranteed to be a box-office bust (again, buy today's standards).Technically; the Kahn sequence seemed a touch slow and contrived, as well as the British army sequence and some of the other character oriented scenes, but still necessary. Regardless, the camera work, locations and art direction are top notch. Good stunts, excellent flying sequences, and, most importantly of all, there's no CGI to ruin the movie. Heck, there aren't even miniatures in this film! Everything you see in this film IS REAL. Aeroplanes, explosions, sets, locations, the whole shootin-match. :-) (so to speak).No awards will be won by any single actor, actress or crew member. But, as a whole, this is a spectacular film that I really want for my DVD collection. Regrettably the only version available to us in the United States is the one provided on Youtube.Romantic and adventurous settings, locations and story makes this one not to miss. Sellick and Armstrong definitely sync well together on screen.*RESCREENED JAN 10th, 2010* My new title; "Indiana Jones Grows Up"I got my DVD of this film a few days ago, and popped it into my region 2 player after work. All I can say is I'm truly glad I have this in my collection, and I think I appreciate the film now more than ever. What we have here is the bratty socialite connecting with the hero-has-been who's never grown up. She's a socialite aviatrix with womanly wiles, while he's the rugged man of the world, but prefers to stay in his immature mold and lost to the world. Both have lessons to teach one another, and it pays off. I find it a heart warming film that I think couples true of heart to another can share and enjoy.Regrettably my region 2 DVD is not letter boxed, and the transfer, though respectable, is not what it could have been. Still, it's the only game in town as far a DVD version of this film goes, and I'm okay with that. Though shame on the powers that be for not making this film a priority for market.Well, I don't have too much more to say other than I'm going to watch it again. :-)Enjoy.*EDIT JULY 10th, 2012* I got a brand new letterboxed and remastered DVD from Hen's Tooth Video. A fantastic transfer. Excellent quality. Many kudos to the people at Hen's Tooth. The film looks better than ever before. Pick up a copy today.

I agree with the previous comment. This is a great movie and should be released on DVD. My VHS tape is wearing thin. Tom Selleck for the women to watch, Bess Armstrong for the men to watch and Jack Weston for the comedy are all great. The aerial scenes alone are enough of a reason to watch the whole movie. There is action, adventure, suspense, romance and a great father and daughter reunion. I realize that at the time this movie was made, it was not considered to be an academy award movie nor did it garner any nominations. But, with all of the truly bad movies put out on DVD and sold for as low as five dollars a piece, I can not believe this movie is not worthy of at least a small release on DVD. It is far better than many movies made today that end up going straight to DVD.If you have a friend who has an old VHS copy that is still worth watching, you definitely need to check this out.

At last! After searching for this DVD for years I finally got my hands on it. Dutch Film Works released the DVD in Holland for a stunning 2.99 euro. I had this movie on VHS in the 80's but lost the tape. I just watched the movie again and it is still the terrific movie I had in mind. I never liked his role in Magnum P.I. but Tom Selleck is the perfect match for this WO I veteran pilot. My confession here in public: this was how I wanted to be back in 1983. Bess Armstrong plays the spoiled rich kid so fabulous. She always reminds me very strongly of a girlfriend of mine in those days. Not only the looks but also the behavior. Maybe that's the main reason why I love this movie so much? Anyway, the action is good, the music is amazing and the storyline is simple but well worked out. The hate/love relationship between Selleck and Armstrong is the best I've ever seen in a movie. It's almost unbelievable that these two actors went into oblivion. Even the director never made a movie after this one. A very, very underrated movie at IMDb. A crying shame.
