On a related note: Both "The High And The Mighty", as well as "Island In The Sky" have just been released on DVD. "Island In The Sky" is a real gem. I had never even seen it before; as it has been that deep in the "out of circulation" bin, and for such a long period of time. Glorious black and white cinematography; and beautiful shots of C-47's throughout the film. And the scene, where John Wayne's character, threatens to shoot his own men...chilling...despite popular public opinion....the man *could* act...
