On a Scale of 1 to 10: 6
“Wings” is a story about friendship, love and World War I (particularly aerial warfare). Mary Preston (Clara Bow) loves Jack Powell (Charles “Buddy” Rogers), but the feeling isn’t mutual. Jack loves Sylvia, but she’s in love with David (Richard Arlen), and the feeling is mutual. Jack and David, who are initially jealous competitors, go off to fly fighter planes together in World War I. “Wings” is the first film to win the Academy Award for Best Picture and is a black-and-white silent movie. Surprisingly, this film depicts blood, which is a result of war violence, and very brief partial nudity.
Director: William A. Wellman. Starring Clara Bow, Charles “Buddy” Rogers, Richard Arlen. Genre: War/Drama. Runtime: 141 min. B&W, silent. (No MPAA rating but equivalent to PG)
