In Cinemascope and Warner-Color, Warner-Color, the Leland Hayward-Billy Wilder production for Warner Bros., is based on the Pulitzer Prize book by Lindbergh, who spent more than 14 years in preparing his fantastic adventure story for publication. With James Stewart in the starring star-ring role, the picture was filmed over half the world on a location tour that took the company almost al-most 20,000 miles for air and ground shots. It tells the story pf the young Lindbergh's daring flight, alone and nonstop, from , New York to Paris in 1927 an achievement that opened up the skyways for modern aviation. j The company filmed scenes in New York, New England, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, France, England, Ireland.

A civilian and World War 11 flier himself, he was especially qualified to enact the man who has been called the world's greatest, and certainly most famous, aviator. |
