Wings - 1927 - Clara Bow , Gary Cooper - First Academy Award Winner -New DVD

Description: Take flight with the classic remastered DVD of "Wings," the 1927 silent film that catapulted Clara Bow to stardom and earned the first Academy Award for Best Picture. This DVD edition, presented by Paramount Home Entertainment, features a treasure trove of historical cinema and is playable across the USA and Canada (Region 1). The DVD comes with English, French, and Spanish subtitles, catering to a diverse audience. Its PG rating makes it a suitable choice for a wide-ranging viewership. The cast boasts iconic names such as Charles 'Buddy' Rogers, Richard Arlen, and Gary Cooper, bringing a compelling narrative to life. For additional details, please refer to the back cover photos for features and specifications. Wings, the first movie to win an Academy Award for Best Picture and the only silent film to win, is still remarkably enjoyable to watch. The story is a fairly conventional one--two flyboys, both in love with the same girl, go off to fight World War I, and male bonding and heartbreak ensue. It's a perfectly serviceable plot, except for the key logical flaw that both young men have inexplicably fallen in love with the boring girl down the street and have somehow failed to notice that Clara Bow is the girl next door. Both male leads really flew their airplanes, and the dogfight footage is still spectacular. The main reason to watch Wings, though, is to see the difference between an actor and a movie star. There are many actors in the film, but only two movie stars. Clara Bow is a treat to watch every minute she's on screen, and young Gary Cooper in a tiny role nearly walks away with the movie, mostly by standing there and looking dreamy.
