610 Serious and strident narration not just extoling the success of Lockheed, but demanding we worship them in all their glory. Great images of factory-life of the 30s-40s. More than you ever wanted to know about how Lockheed goes about ruling the aviation industry. High production values for a corporate project, this mini-movie leaves no stone unturned. Most shots are long and easily editable. Campy but usable models of globe and map images. Have not seen Reel 2 yet, but I can't wait for the rousing and patriotic close.

We begin by just showing everyone who has ever broken a record on a Lockheed plane. Then the company's flying partners, then how a plane is put together, and the plans for the future. Now, spend about 5-7 minutes on each subject, and you begin to see how mindnumbing this really is. Although the film is directed by a woman, there's not much else going for it.

Seeing the Lodestar in the air was very cool, as well as the footage of so many legendary aviators that flew Lockheeds. TRIVIA: This film was photographed by Floyd D. Crosby, Father of musician and singer David Crosby. I enjoyed it 4 swordfish51 2006-03-26 15:14:37 2006-03-26 15:14:37 3 3.00
