The Burning Sky(1940)

1h 41min | War

The film was produced during Second Sino-Japanese War, before the Pearl Harbor Attack in 1941. The film mainly concerns the training of newly-recruited pilots and their daily life, then their subsequent fighting experiences in China. Army supported the production, providing all the authentic airplanes, training and actual actions. They even provided the older biplanes disguised as Chinese fighter planes. Obinata plays the trainer-turned-combat-leader, who is passionate and cool at the same time. All his boys love him, of course. The film is not as intense, full of sugar-coated camaraderie, until young pilots are killed in action one by one. Last twenty minutes are fairly grim, as the message of self-sacrifice is heard loud and clear.

Directed by Yutaka Abe - With Kazuo Hasegawa

1h 40min | Drama, War
2.8/5 (with 4 votes)

Charles Chauvel's 1940 cinematic tribute to the mounted troops of the Australian Light Horse regiments is a rousing call to arms, giving life to the heroic tales of mateship during the Great War.

Escape to Glory(1940)

NR
| 1h 4min | Drama

The Grand Hotel formula that was so overworked in the 1930s made an encore appearance in 1940's Escape to Glory. The story is given timeliness by placing the characters on a British merchant ship on the very day that World War II is declared. The ship is attacked by a Nazi U-Boat, resulting in a variety of reactions from the diverse passengers--one of whom (Erwin Kalser) is a German doctor. Constance Bennett is glamorous, Pat O'Brien is boozy, John Halliday is pensive, and everybody else (except for the German medico) is plain fearful.

Wings of Destiny(1940)

1h 8min | Action

The story concerns an attempt by fifth columnists to gain control of Australia's supplies of wolfram, a mineral used in the manufacture of munitions, involving a new wolfram field owned by Francis Jamieson (Marshall Crosby).

Directed by Rupert Kathner - With Marshall Crosby
