The War Lover. Warren Beatty turned down the role of Rickson, possibly because he had recently caused the divorce between Natalie Wood and Robert Wagner, and the two men were not on speaking terms. Mike Reilly drowned after parachuting from 2000 feet into the English Channel, near Newhaven, during the filming of a stunt for the film.
Buzz Rickson, however, is an exception to the rule. Buzz embodies both heroism and villainy. "The War Lover" isn't a great W.W. II movie, but McQueen's sterling performance, the vintage B-17s, and the fact that only a handful of such Allied aerial films have been made about the European Theater of war makes it an exemplary combat picture.
Synopsis. Buzz Rickson is a dare-devil World War II bomber pilot with a death wish. Failing at everything not involving flying, Rickson lives for the most dangerous missions. His crew lives with this aspect of his personality only because they know he always brings them back alive.
