I love this song and this movie. Great old-fashioned English dance-hall tune-- innocent and fun. The film has the most beautiful art direction and design in every aspect-- from the planes themselves to the cars, costumeds, archetecture, even the ladies' hair-do's and men's mustaches have that quaint rococco curvature with narrow forms swelling into wide curves that is redolent of late-19th-early 20th century pre WWI taste and European culture. A mid-'60s gem!
Ich habe diesen Film x-Mal gesehen; im Kino und im TV.
Aber ......... wenn im Kino nach dem s-w Start der Film auf Breitwand und Colour geht und diese Musik kommt resp. die Luftaufnahmen, dann beginne ich auch zu fliegen ............ UND ich habe selber den Pilotenschein.
D.h. ............ der Filmist einfach supertollspitzenmäßig ...... eben ein echter Fliegerfilm!!!!!!!!!!!
@AlanMartinNala There attempts were not pathetic, Suh! Crazy, Loonie, Batty, Nutty, Bonkers, Hilarious, and Funny, yes. But not pathetic. Just great slapstick.
@cabbievonbump I was being ironical, of course; basically to follow with the comic tone of the movie (or at least attempting to do so...) Rather than dashes, maybe I should´ve used inverted commas, to set it clearer...
I have it pretty clear that if it were not for the initiative of these brave men, who in some cases put their live at risk with dangerous inventions, probably aviation wouldn´t exist nowadays... After all, they were the precursors, the real heroes of the history of aviation.
I need help finding a song. It is similar to this song, but has no lyrics (that I know of). It is a song that is often played when someone is performing some timed event. Typically a starter's pistol goes off, then they play the song I'm thinking of.
When i hear this I some how think of Looney Tunes for some weird reason. Plus love this version & Cabin Pressures version!

I sang this to both of these songs to my boys as babies and they LOVED IT. Hmm they'd probably slap me if I sang it to them now although LOL

The film opening on the first human -pathetic- attempts to fly made me almost drown with laughter! XDD
