Chain Lightning (18-Feb-1950)

Director: Stuart Heisler

Writers: Liam O'Brien; Vincent Evans; J. Redmond Prior

Based on a book: These Many Years by Lester Cole (story)

Music by: David Buttolph

Producer: Anthony Veiller

Keywords: Drama, Aviation

Matt Brennan is hired as a test pilot for a prototype airplane, after the previous pilot was killed trying its special ejection seat. The film abounds in unrealistic technical nonsense. Listless performance from Bogart, and a romantic subplot between him and the beautiful Eleanor Parker is equally uninteresting.
