Up Up in the Air in My Beautiful MIG
Howard Hughes original intension was to do another Hell’s Angels for the Cold War Era. Remember that film was equally famous for the aviation shots as for the debut of Jean Harlow as sex symbol.

Well if sex and flying worked before, why not again. Hughes filmed some really great aviation footage and then worked to build a story around it, one with some sex. So he reworked the plot of Ninotchka and adapted it to the wild blue yonder.

The reason originally for the delay in release was that we were making great strides in aviation post World War II. So he re-shot and re-shot the aviation sequences and then eventually lost interest. Jet Pilot was released seven years after it was originally filmed and by then the planes really looked out of date. Our’s and the Soviet’s. One of the players, Richard Rober, in fact was killed in an automobile crash in 1952.

The only thing you can say about Jet Pilot is that the Russians were far in advance of us on feminist issues. Why then would you have the shapely Janet Leigh filling out a flight suit after allegedly going off course and landing in the USA?

Air Force Colonel John Wayne interrogates Janet about the latest in Soviet technology, but then he gets other things on his mind. After a while he’s got the hots for her so bad, he marries her and they go back to the USSR to see what he can find out about their aircraft.

Does it sound pretty silly to you? Even for a propaganda film I doubt this one affirmed anyone’s Americanism. Remember this was released on top of The Conqueror and between them they put and end to Wayne’s seven year reign as number one at the box office.

By the way at the time this was being filmed, Howard Hughes was panting after Janet Leigh the same way he’d earlier panted after Ava Gardner. He got MGM to send her to RKO for three films, this, A Holiday Affair and the musical Two Tickets to Broadway. Poor Janet.

And poor everyone else connected with Jet Pilot.

good airplane photography
If you want to see classic US jetfighters in action, this is a great flick. However, dramatically, it takes big cinematic license that an apparent WWII veteran and Korean War vet, (Wayne)would be wordly enough to embrace a Russian Communist officer romantically (Leigh). Remember, in this McCarthy era, that would have been a USAF career killer.

My wife agrees that even though he’s about thirty years her senior in the pic, Janet Leigh would still fall for the big guy. It sure looks like the Duke is having a good time in the movie, which is very tongue-in-cheek.

One little distraction among many historical inaccuracies, this is supposedly 1957 and in the colorized (?)version I saw recently o n AMC, it looks like Wayne is wearing a USAAF uniform. Also, the fighters in the movie seem to have an inexhaustable supply of fuel and oxygen.

Nevertheless, Janet Leigh is delicious in the role.

Overall, a fun airplane picture and I recommend it as a great Saturday afternoon distraction. And it does accurately portray the fact women are more than equal to the task of combat flying–an idea way ahead of its time in 1957 (but perhaps not for Russia who had a number of women pilots in WWII combat roles).
