Wings (1927)
Country: US
Technical: bw 144m silent
Director: William Wellman
Cast: Clara Bow, Charles 'Buddy' Rogers, Richard Arlen, Gary Cooper
Synopsis:
A car mechanic and a wealthy man love the same girl, and she strings them both along, but things get serious when they are called up and find themselves in the same fighter squadron.
Review:
Incredibly overstretched prestige production from Paramount in the dying days of silent cinema. The number of planes used was something staggering, and there is no doubt that the aerial footage impresses, but the plot is back of a postcard stuff and Howard Hughes would trump it in every way in just a year or two's time.
