3.0 out of 5 stars Textbook professionalism, 9 Nov 2007
By Trevor Willsmer (London, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)      
As filmmaking, William Wellman's long unseen Island in the Sky is textbook professionalism about textbook professionals - in this case John Wayne's pilot and his crew downed in uncharted Labrador and the various pilots trying to locate them before a storm finishes them off. There are no surprises (aside from the horrific sight of Andy Devine in swim trunks!), there's an excess of narration at times (much of it delivered by Wellman himself), and it doesn't stand up to the best of Wellman's aviation pictures, but it's good, solid entertainment, convincingly staged and boasting a superb Tiomkinesque score by Emil Newman.

The extras package on Paramount's DVD is pretty impressive as well, boasting a good selection of featurettes, an interesting audio commentary from the director's son and supporting cast members, stills gallery, newsreel footage and even John Wayne's introduction to co-star James Arness' Gunsmoke TV series.
