Hi Bill

As usual the stories and films are great.

I suppose my Judge of a film is that of all the John Wayne conventions I could have attended the one I went to featured John Wayne in The Fighting Kentuckian followed by Jet Pilot. This involved me leaving home at 5am taking a train and bus to the midlands by Mansfield getting there by 11 am and after seeing the two films getting home around 1am the next mornng.

And enjoying every minute of it especially as that was the location where I bought Pat Stacey book.

Keep them coming Bill

Regards

Arthur

Hi

I thought Jet Pilot was watchable, the trouble with the picture was thatHughes wouldn't let it go he spent large amounts of money and film shooting the ariel scenes. By the time he had finished as you say the film was badly dated.
