Yes, for those of us who love airplanes and films with airplanes, what film is this from ?

how funny, and really true.I am surprised they even would raise this subject back then. the 377 utilized Pratt & Whitney R4360 engines, which in my opinion should never have come off of the drawing board really. A compounding radial engine, which consisted of four rows of seven cylinders, earning the nickname 'corncob' due to its appearance. A gazillion extra working parts and delivered the same horsepower on the Wright R3350, which is a simpler but finicky engine.

This looks like the forerunner to "The VIPS"

Isn't the captain the actor James Robertson Justice?

From what film was this clip taken. I've seen this clip a few times and I think I would enjoy seeing the entire film.
