Memphis Belle |
Matthew Modine ("Full Metal Jacket") and Eric Stoltz ("Anaconda") head the dynamic cast of "Memphis Belle," an adventure inspired by true World War II heroics. Producers David Puttnam and Catherine Wyler used her father William Wyler's 1944 film about the famed Flying Fortress as inspiration. Director Michael Caton-Jones ("The Jackal") cast top-flight actors: Billy Zane ("Titanic", Harry Connick Jr. ("Copycat"), Tate Donovan ("Love Potion #9"), D.B. Sweeney ("The Cutting Edge"), Sean Astin ("Rudy"), David Strathairn ("L.A. Confidential"), Reed Diamond ("Homicide: Life On The Street") and John Lithgow ("3rd Rock From The Sun"). In these talented ranks, "Memphis Belle" Soars. Color, 107 Minutes. Designed to meet a US Army Air Corps requirement for a multi-engined bomber to replace the B-10, the B-17 first flew on July 18, 1935. Best known for its role in the US Army Air Forces' daylight strategic bombing campaign during World War II, the B-17 could fly high and had a long range, and was capable of defending itself from enemy fighters. It was also tough, withstanding extensive battle damage, and was capable of carrying a 6,000 lb bombload. The B-17 became one of the symbols of Allied air power, equipping 32 overseas combat groups and dropping a total of 580,631 metric tons of bombs on European targets. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
