DC-3 Movie, "Island in the Sky" with John Wayne When his DC-3 crash lands in the Canadian arctic, a former World War II army pilot (John Wayne) must keep the crew alive - despite the bitter cold - until help arrives. Based on the novel by Ernest Gann, the sometimes unsettling realism makes this film feel almost like a documentary. This fully restored Collector's Edition also includes more than a half-dozen bonus items and commentary by Leonard Maltin. 1 hr. 49 min. Along with THE HIGH AND THE MIGHTY, John Wayne's thrilling survival epic ISLAND IN THE SKY is a Duke classic long held out of print by a legal dispute with the star's family. While both films were directed by William Wellman with a script adapted by aviation writer Ernest K. Gann from his own novel, this little-seen gem follows former WWII army pilot Captain Dooley (Wayne) as his transport plane runs out of fuel and crash lands in the icy tundras of the Canadian Arctic. It isn't long before Dooley and his surviving crew members face a limited food supply, below-zero temperatures, primitive radio equipment, and nearly impossible odds as they wait (and hope) for rescue. Walter Abel, Lloyd Nolan, James Arness, Andy Devine, and Harry Carey Jr. round out the star-studded cast, while dual cinematographers Archie Stout and William H. Clothier perfectly capture the vast expanses of snow-covered bleakness in crisp black-and-white photography that virtually gleams in this lovingly restored and remastered edition. Edition: The John Wayne Collection From the Webmaster: I just watched this movie about two minutes ago. 07-26-2013 20:32 and it was GREAT. You really need to watch this movie. It covers a lot of videos of groups of DC-3 Airplanes flying at low levels above the arctic mountains and lakes. It shows the survival needs and problems that this crew went through. The movie tells about how the search parties coordinated they search into areas where there weren't even any maps. Very interesting and a well made movie. C. Jeff Dyrek |
