If this movie involves the Japanese in any way, it was edited. Like many other movies. 3 or 4 years later, the government was teaching us to be friends with the axis powers.
Good movie 🎬, only trouble is halfway through this movie 🎬 it starts all over again, but it does finish to the end, so I suggest that you you find where it starts the second time!
INFO: Pan American Airlines actually initially pioneered trans Pacific air travel in its Clipper flying boats. Pan Am built complete trans Pacific infrastructure from scratch, including Ports, Harbors, Aircraft Service & Maintenence Facility & staff, radio communications ground stations (2-way voice, & Navigation radio broadcast stations, Weather stations, full service Hotels, refueling facilities, everything, self-sufficient. And so much more . . . The whole international Air Travel Industry owes Pan Am pioneers a great debt that cannot possibly be re-paid.
And the Dutch KLM did same from Indies back over India to Europe. Often flew both Pan Am 1 and 2 and KLM in SW and SE Asia and to/ from Europe. So sad to see Pan Am die off. Also Eastern and TWA all great airlines killed by greed.
So, I perceive this is a double feature for people who only want to see one movie and don't have the time for two anyway! Nice film if you start in the middle.... again.
And 5 years later, that "special relationship" between GB and India came to a not so happy ending. That's how fast it can go with "special relationships". The British today count a lot on their "special relationship" with the USA. The French can tell them fascinating aspects about the USA, for example about their eagerness to provide the Aussies with nuclear subs. Which make more sense than noisy diesel subs for sure, but tell that to the folks in France who were promised years of work in a region where there aren't that much job opportunities. Fun fact: today, that proud brand of Jaguar is in the hands of India. How marvellous, old chap....
What's your main point, sir ?? That politics, corporate business and pillaging of nations are cut-throat dirty-tricks business, perhaps ?? Yes, even Crimes Against Humanity in so great many cases.
Not for the time. And would likely have been in CW/ morse. Radio ops needed 2nd class commercial telegraph license w/ aircraft endorsement. True until around 1960.
Yes I know it is fictional, and might even be trying to be humorous to some extent, but, if the jilted bride was engaged to our intrepid roving reporter she would have known that his job was not 9-5 and that one minute he could be finding out the latest stock market price in NY and the next on a slow boat to China, so why is she going bananas 🍌 at him? Or are we supposed to believe that she believed that she could change his belief in the power of the press and his part in it.
