Look Ahead: Film on May 20
Winged Victory
Starring Lon McCallister, Jeanne Crain, Edmond O’Brien, Jane Ball.
Adapted from the Broadway smash hit by Moss Hart, this film follows a group of World War II air corps pilots through training. The home-front drama captures the tension felt by pilots and their wives and girlfriends in a nation at war. More than a dozen rising stars, including Judy Holliday and Karl Malden, can be seen in this significant but now rarely seen motion picture. Most of the male cast were granted leave from active duty to appear in this important film that stands as a poignant time capsule of that era.
20TH CENTURY-FOX. 1944. 2 HRS. 10 MINS. DIRECTOR: GEORGE CUKOR.
