Hmmmm..... IMDB says this thing is 119 minutes long.   What TCM just ran
went 68 minutes.  It's had 51 min chopped out of it?   Hmmmmmmmm.....

I'm gonna have to sit down & watch this thing, just to see what there is to
see.

Oh - on second glance at IMDB...the UK version is 119 min.  The US version
is 68.  Still....sounds wacky to me.

Still want a copy, e?

yes, the 10 minutes i watched were really silly. typical
yank/brit fluff banter about "jerry" and all that rot.
but...the aircraft scenes are a modelers dream. so please,
yes i do.

Not the same movies but I taped one years ago with 'A's or 'B's that
also had Robert Mitchum and Veronica Lake.  It seems to me that movies
of early NMF B-17s are rather rare.  Now if I could only remember the
title!

Very good service and the conversion is pretty good for a vac. It will be
much easier if you don;t have to do a NMF finish.

Oops, that was William Holden, not Robert Mitchum.  The movie is "I
Wanted Wings".  Ray Milland and Brian Donlevy were also in the cast.

I just got a copy of the book from amazon.com. It is used but only
cost $5.50 plus shipping for a total of $8.95. The book was in great
condition when it arrived, and I was surprised to see it was signed by
the author on the title page. From what I have read so far this book
is great. I am going to have to start adding these films to my
collection.
