VHS Movie Reviews of No Highway In The Sky [VHS]
Movie Review: A Personal Favorite
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a personal favorite. The author of the book, Nevil Shute, was an aircraft engineer and worked on the Airship R100. He also worked with the famous inventor Barnes Wallis. These facts give the film some credibility in regards to metallergy. Reading the book might give insight into the accuracy the film-maker put into the scientific statements Stewart's character spoke.
Regardless of the details it is still a good picture.
Movie Review: No highway in the sky
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a classic Jimmy Stewart movie, a must see for all old movie buffsMovie Review: A Favorite Film
Summary: 5 Stars
This and Field of Dreams are my two favorite films of all time. Feel good movies without a bit of smaltz. Hope it comes to DVD soon.Movie Review: Stereotypical Stewart?
Summary: 5 Stars
One of those "hidden gem" films that slips by the viewer occasionally,only to be unearthed at a later date.If there is such a thing as a stereotypical James Stewart, this film fills the bill. Stewart plays an eccentric,genius/idiot who bumbles along daily, trying to convince the world that he's scientifically correct and that doom awaits all those flying over 1440 net hours in a Reindeer airplane. Superb body language compliments the usual Stewart stutter.A splendid supporting cast augments the film"s reality. Once you've seen the film, you're apt to be drawn back to it time and again. Enjoy!Movie Review: An overlooked rare gem from James Stewart!
Summary: 5 Stars
When you think of Jimmy Stewart, you think of so many of his fine perfomances. Yet his portrayal of rock steady George Bailey in "It's A Wonderful Life" always seems to pop out front. As this movie was filmed some four years later, Mr. Stewart looks physically the same but what a fantastic transformation to a tottering "absent minded" scientist bent on proving his theory of metal fatigue of an airplane's tail section. His portral of Theodore Honey is beyond brilliant and quite a departure of his usual "any man" roles.
This American movie with a "British" feel is most deserving of a remastered DVD release.
Summary of No Highway In The Sky [VHS]
A little-known gem, No Highway in the Sky is an interesting hybrid of U.S. and British film production. Most of the cast is British, as are the look and feel of the film, but the lead actor and the budget are both American. James Stewart plays aeronautical engineer Theodore Honey, the quintessential absent-minded professor: eccentric, forgetful, but brilliant. His studies show that the aircraft being manufactured by his employer has a subtle but deadly design flaw that manifests itself only after the aircraft has flown a certain number of hours. En route to a crash site to prove his theory, Honey discovers that he is aboard a plane rapidly approaching his predicted deadline. Marlene Dietrich costars with Stewart, while the balance of the cast comprises British stars, notably Glynis Johns and Jack Hawkins. Stewart is excellent, while a young Janette Scott steals her scenes as Honey's precocious daughter. --Mark SavaryFighting the System Video
