The Rocketeer" proves someone still makes 'em like they used to.
After Campbell rescues a clown in an out-of-control plane (the first in the movie's escalating series of spectacularly clumsy rescues and escapes), the newspapers are abuzz about the mysterious rocket man -- dubbing him "The Rocketeer" -- and soon the chase is on again, with newshounds, gangsters, FBI agents and Nazis on Campbell's rocket trail.

Bill Campbell, who plays Cliff, a young pilot who finds the rocket pack hidden in his plane and, with the help of his mechanic friend, Peevy (Alan Arkin), becomes the Rocketeer, is strong on pluck, and he's got a good handle on the Jimmy Stewart brand of hair-in-the-face integrity.

The Rocketeer", one of Disney's first forays into more "adult" entertainment was supposed to be a smash hit and spawn a series of sequels.
At least someone out there liked it, because the popular PC game "Crimson Skies" (as well as its upcoming movie incarnation) was obviously inspired by several scenes in the Rocketeer.
