Properly impressed by the dramatic fact that people who were children in 1903 had barely reached middle age by the time Franco's bombers were pounding Barcelona, Director Wellman, who helped concoct his own story, tried to reflect the whole bright saga of flying through the prism of a conventional triangle plot. When Pat Falconer, Scott Barnes and Peggy Ranson are moppets, sailing kites in imitation of the airship Peggy's inventor father is trying to rig up in his workshop, the device succeeds brilliantly. By the time the children have grown up into Fred MacMurray, Ray Milland...
...shortcomings of Men With Wings are not due to Director William Augustus ("Wild Bill") Wellman's lack of qualifications for his job. A Lafayette Flying Corps pilot during the War, he launched aviation as a major cinema subject with Wings in 1927, thereafter rated as one of the industry's top specialists in aviation epics.

...good graces of John Hay Whitney, who owns the Technlcolor process, the best color process developed commericially to date. Last year he produced "A Star is Born," with all those frightful orange and blue sunsets. After much experimenting, for which his color director, William A. Wellman, deserves great credit, he has produced in "Nothing Sacred" the most true-to-life film yet to appear. When Miss Lombard is draged out of the East River, she looks wet. When we see her with an ice-pack the morning after, our heart goes out to her. We liked her when her hair...
