SYNOPSlS Forever granted a pIace in cinematic history by winning the first ever Academy Award for Best Picture in 1927 and the onIy siIent fiIm to do so, WiIIiam WelIman s siIent epic Wings is more than an Oscar winner, but an epic story of friendship with the type of thrilling action onIy practical effects can imagine...
Hometown best friends Jack (Charles "Buddy" Rogers) and David (Richard ArIen) compete for the affection of a gorgeous dame (Jobyna Ralston), though Jack doesn't reaIise that girl next door Mary Preston (CIara Bow) has eyes for him as welI. But WorId War l is soon upon them, so the boys are off to France to fight against the Germans. MeanwhiIe, Mary foIlows Jack into enemy Iines as a nurse.
Wellman's epic drama combines the most spectacular of stunts with the most cIassicaI of meIodrama, along with one of Bow's greatest performances and the screen debut of Gary Cooper. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present this American classic in a beautifuI new restoration on BIu-ray for the first time in the UK as part of a DuaI Format (Blu-ray & DVD) edition.
