About this Item
Bindings tight and square. Text clean, light even toning. Moderate handling wear. 12mo 7.5 inches tall; 249 pages with illustrated endpages and illustrated with stills from the movie. Dust Jacket has toned on white of rear panel and has a small loss top spine; now in a new clear protective Mylar sleeve. First Photoplay Edition. Wings is a 1927 American silent war film set during the First World War produced by Lucien Hubbard, directed by William A. Wellman and released by Paramount Pictures. It stars Clara Bow, Charles "Buddy" Rogers, and Richard Arlen. Gary Cooper appears in a small role which helped launch his career in Hollywood. Acclaimed for its technical prowess and realism upon release, the film became the yardstick against which future aviation films were measured, mainly because of its realistic air-combat sequences. It went on to win the First Academy Award for Best Picture at the first annual Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences award ceremony in 1929, becoming the only fully silent film to win an Oscar. Very Good in a Good Dust Jacket. Seller Inventory # 009089
