Overview

Wings, the first feature film to win an Academy Award, tends to disappoint a little when seen today. Too much time is afforded the wheezy old plotline about two World War I aviators Buddy Rogers, Richard Arlen in love with the same woman Jobyna Ralston, while the comedy relief of El Brendel is decidedly not to everyone's taste. But during the aerial "dogfight" sequences, the film is something else again: a grand-scale spectacular, the likes of which has never been duplicated, not even by more expensive efforts like Hell's Angels 1930 and The Blue Max 1965. Twenty-eight-year-old director William Wellman, himself a wartime aviator, was fortunate enough to have the full cooperation of the US War department at his disposal

Overview

Wings, the first feature film to win an Academy Award, tends to disappoint a little when seen today. Too much time is afforded the wheezy old plotline about two World War I aviators Buddy Rogers, Richard Arlen in love with the same woman Jobyna Ralston, while the comedy relief of El Brendel is decidedly not to everyone's taste. But during the aerial "dogfight" sequences, the film is something else again: a grand-scale spectacular, the likes of which has never been duplicated, not even by more expensive efforts like Hell's Angels 1930 and The Blue Max 1965. Twenty-eight-year-old director William Wellman, himself a wartime aviator, was fortunate enough to have the full cooperation of the US War department at his disposal even though his legendary temper nearly lost him that cooperation on more than one occasion! Brilliantly handled though the aerial scenes may be, they are matched by the Earthbound combat sequences, including the now-famous shot of a long trench caving in on hundreds of unfortunate doughboys. The storyline is as follows: Jack Powell Rogers and David Armstrong $Powell hate each other during basic training, grow to like each other, and fall out again while competing for the affections of Sylvia Lewis Ralston. Mary Preston Clara Bow sacrifices her own nursing career to save a drunken Powell from disgrace, Powell goes on a rampage when he believes his pal Armstrong has been killed, inadvertently shoots down Armstrong while decimating the German air corps, and is finally reunited with the nurse. Wrapped up in nurse's garb throughout most of the film, the ebullient Clara Bow is permitted a sequence in which, disguised as a Parisian floozie while trying to rescue a revelling Rogers, she displays a great deal of epidermis. One of the film's chief claims to fame is its "introduction" of Gary Cooper who'd actually been in films since the early 1920s, in a brief but crucial role as veteran flyer with a cheerily fatalistic attitude. When originally released, Wings included a sequence lensed in the wide-screen "Magnascope" process; even when seen "flat," however, the film contains some of the best flying sequences ever captured on celluloid.

    Both touching and exciting

    I found the movie to really show the comaraderie of the men in the Army Air Force and how much they cared about each other. It gave me a new perpective of military service. I also enjoyed the dogfights and was amazed at the technical aspect of it since this movie was made in the '20s.

    Too long, OK, I agree. But as distracted as you may have been, you couldn't have missed the fact that it is not Clara Bow that Rogers and Arlen fight about, but the supposedly prettier 'girl from out of town', played by Jobyna Ralston. It is only later in the movie that Rogers realises that his cute neighborgirl is indeed much more fun - and he falls for her as she did for him. Happy end.
