Who remembers "No Highway"? Jimmy Stewart, I seem to remember. Anything of
Nevil Shute's had to be good, in my eyes!


No Highway in the Sky (1951)

I have not seen this one - will have to watch for it.

Looking through some old movies I HAVE NOT SEEN:

http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0023973/#comment
"The Eagle and the Hawk" (1933)
Fredric March
Cary Grant
Jack Oakie
Carole Lombard

http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0027221/#comment
"Wings in the Dark" (1935)
Cary Grant
Myrna Loy

http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0031762/
"Only Angels Have Wings" (1939)
Cary Grant
Jean Arthur
Richard Barthelmess
Rita Hayworth

I've seen bits and pieces of this movie. I did see the Ford Tri-Motor crash
scene!

[From the link]
"This is one of the great tough romances, whose real romance is with death
itself, which needless to say makes it several steps darker than Hawks'
superficially similar To Have and Have Not, let alone Rio Bravo (which
reproduces its main characters almost exactly-- Grant as John Wayne,
Arthur/Angie Dickinson as the woman trying to get into the boy's club,
Barthelmess/Dean Martin as the guy with a guilty past of failure, and
Mitchell as the guy who age is catching up with/ Walter Brennan, old age
fully caught up)."

I bet Chili Palmer (John Travolta in "Get Shorty") didn't know THAT!!


Sky Giant (1938) Howard Hughes?

Test Pilot (1957) Arthur Hailey short, staring James Doohan

Fighter Squadron (1948)
"Of course 'Fighter Squadron' employed P-51D Mustangs to depict Luftwaffe
Me.109G's. Big deal: how many films use the wrong gear to portray the right
gear? (Duh...Hollywood = PRETEND!)"
