| Trivia | A reviewer wrote: " For some reason the sound of jet engines are used throughout the film for what is supposed to be a propeller driven airplane." CORRECTION: Throughout the film the familiar rumbling sound of the aircraft's propellers is very clear. At no point in the film do the propellers sound like jet engines, which, would have a distinctively smooth and consistent whine. See more » |
