“Men With Wings” Depicts in Colour
STORY OF THOSE WHO RISKED THEIR LIVES (Regent: Screening Friday 10.30 p.m.) Hollywood’s first air epic ever to be filmed in Technicolour is Paramount’s “Men With Wings.” Fred Mac Murray, Ray Milland and Louise Campbell head the cast of tho thrilling romance of three young pioneers of the air who lived during tho surging years from the flight of the Wright Brothers at Kitty Hawk in 1903 to the lightning round-the-world hops of the present day. Opening when the three leading characters are ten years old, just after the triumph of the Wrights, “Men With Wings” carries them forward in th 6 sweeping torrent of man’s progress in the air. The success of the airplane opens up a glorious new world to them, and they plunge into aviation with the almost religious enthusiasm which has characterised every group of pioneers in history. Even their love for each other ranks second to their love of flying.
Miss Campbell, in love with both men, must choose between the romantic, daredevil swashbuckler of the air, MacMurray, and the courageous, pioneering builder of planes, Milland. In her de cißion is bound up the future of aviation ’s progress for many years.
