 Rating:  - Wing and a Prayer DVDDifficult classic movie on DVD to find! Great price,fast Shipment, good communucation and the product arrived in good condition! What more could you want? Recommend this seller! Thanks! Kevin Rating:  - Worst of All TimeIf anyone pays attention to the "plot" (or LACK thereof) the plot of the film is so implausible as to be laughable! No ships' Captain would EVER offer his ship and his men to be a sitting duck without first making certain his pilots were trained and under orders to shoot first and ask questions later, rather than BEG to be killed. Also, this film apparently did not have any military consultants. The pilots were swapping aircraft types in mid-air and the ship kept changing from one to another. This film was HILARIOUS! Rating: - THE FLEET THAT CAME TO STAY!!I was twelve [12] years old when I saw this movie on a Saturday afternoon at a neighborhood theater...It had a powerful impact on my immature grasp of things then...it is a beautiful made movie during the anxious WW2 years about the US Navy and its pilots...just listen to the inspiring/heroic musical score by Hugo W. Friedhofer [kudos to him] and the easy; yet, Naval discipline as it flows so naturally under the direction of Henry Hathaway...forget the nit-pickers that drag on in here...the United States was losing the War in early 1942, I say again, losing the war all the way down to the tip of Australia...movies like the "Wing" made morale on the home/front soar as high as our Navy flyers could take it...by 1944 when this wonderful film was ...

No matter. lots of action scenes, many of the scenes were actors performing in front of newsreel footage in what we now call a blue screen. Years later we're all so smart it almost seems quaint & we may chuckle. But it is excellent for it's time, which was wartime. The U.S. military, paranoid as they are, covered up the battle & this movie for a long time. They publicized the Dolittle Tokyo raid which happened a few weeks before to boost the public morale. I would have thought our smashing victory at Midway might have had the same positive effect & a negative one on the Japanese. The plot: The aircraft carrier USS X was traveling at ... Read More: Rating:  - O.K. Movie, But Lots of InaccuraciesDon Ameche (Cmndr. Bingo Harper) and Dana Andrews (Lt. Cmndr Edward Moulton) star in this movie that supposedly describes the Battle of Midway in 1942, but there are numerous inaccuracies that leave the viewer wondering what it is they are actually viewing. The basic plot of the movie goes something like this. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, the American public was wondering where their Navy was. It appeared to them that the Navy had gone into hiding and was actually afraid to face the Japanese fleet. "Carrier X" was dispatched to lull the Japanese into thinking that the American fleet was scattered all over the Pacific ocean, when in reality, they were positioned off of Midway, ready to intercept the Japanese fleet which was ...
