The High and the Mighty DVD Movie
The High and the Mighty Description: "For The High and the Mighty, director William Wellman made a point of using CinemaScope to heighten the dramatic content of a confined screen space - in this instance, the cockpit of a plane in flight. Copilot John Wayne seems a lot more in control of things than captain Robert Stack when the plane loses an engine during a flight from Honolulu to San Francisco. Wellman crosscuts from the tension in the cockpit to the various subplots involving the plane's passengers, among them Claire Trevor, Laraine Day, John Howard, Jan Sterling, Phil Harris and Sidney Blackmer (as a character named Humphrey Agnew - a remarkable prescient cognomen given the future of the US vice presidency!) Adapted by Ernest K. Gann from his best-selling novel, High and the Mighty was one of the first (and most profitable) entries in the "terror in the sky" genre. Its theme music, written by Dmitri Tiomkin and whistled incessantly by John Wayne in the film, would later become a best-selling hit throughout the world."
