Island in the Sky (1953)

Release Date	:	5 September 1953
Rating	:	Not Rated
Distributor	:	Warner Bros. Pictures Distribution
Duration	:	1 hr. 49 min.

Overwiew :Along with THE HIGH AND THE MIGHTY, John Wayne's thrilling survival epic ISLAND IN THE SKY is a Duke classic long held out of print by a legal dispute with the star's family. While both films were directed by William Wellman with a script adapted by aviation writer Ernest K. Gann from his own novel, this little-seen gem follows former WWII army pilot Captain Dooley (Wayne) as his transport plane runs out of fuel and crash lands in the icy tundras of the Canadian Arctic. It isn't long before Dooley and his surviving crew members face a limited food supply, below-zero temperatures, primitive radio equipment, and nearly impossible odds as they wait (and hope) for rescue. Walter Abel, Lloyd Nolan, James Arness, Andy Devine, and Harry Carey Jr. round out the star-studded cast, while dual cinematographers Archie Stout and William H. Clothier perfectly capture the vast expanses of snow-covered bleakness in crisp black-and-white photography that virtually gleams in this lovingly restored and remastered edition.

Starring : John Wayne, Walter Abel, Lloyd Nolan, James Arness, Andy Devine

Directors : William Wellman

Producers : Robert Fellows, John Wayne

Critic Reviews	Grade
www.filmcritic.com - : For the longest time, I didn't think anything was going to happen in Island in the Sky. In fact, the very title implies that nothing is going to happen: I figured a big bomber would be flying around during WWII, drop a few bombs on Dresden or something, maybe hit some resistance, and finally return home after a successful run over Germany. more...
www.sover.net - : Long out of circulation after a family battle with Warner Brothers after John Wayne's death in 1979, now that it was settled in court the adventure rescue film has been restored and presented on DVD. It's tautly directed by William A. Wellman from a book by Ernest K. Gann, who is also the screenwriter. more...
