Movie Reviews of Wings (NTSC Import)
Movie Review: First Winner for Best Picture
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie was the first movie to win the Academy Award for Best Picture (Back then, it was called "Best Production"). Of the 81 movies to win this award, only two are not available on DVD in the United States: Cavalcade and Wings. This product is an import but WILL play on your Region 1 DVD player. Until Paramount decides to officially release this film to DVD, this import is the only way to own this film on DVD. This film is also noteworthy in that it is the only silent picture to win the top prize. Beyond it's historical significance, this movie is very well written and produced. The acting performances are supurb, especially considering that they can't be heard!
Summary of Wings (NTSC Import)
WINGS was the first film ever made that graphically captured the emotional combination of freedom and fear of flying in combat. Director William Wellman drew on his years in an elite flying squadron and pushed the cinematic technology of the day to its limit when he created this film's timeless aerial sequences. The story revolves around two young men, of different classes, who have both fallen for the same young woman before they head off to combat. Richard Arlen and Charles Rogers are well paired as they fight it out over both Clara Bow and enemy soil, and Gary Cooper makes a memorable cameo appearance, which launched his career. The emotional current created by the three stars is as intense as the film's special effects, and the result adequately reflects the lasting brutality of war. This drama won the very first Academy Award for Best Picture.Classics DVD Video
