Experience WWII from the Skies with ‘The Cold Blue!’

 

WWII was fought on the ground, in tanks, on treacherous waters and in the skies far above. Multiple Academy Award winner William Wyler sought to tell the story of the famous Memphis Belle, the B-17F bomber used to fight Nazi Germany. The film was shot on location in 1943 during the actual fighting and although the film was never completed, the raw footage was discovered in the National Archives and now has been fully completed for everyone to view.

Director Erik Nelson (best known for his documentaries) is restoring all the original footage to tell the stories of the men who flew the planes, fought the Nazis and some of whom never returned home to their families. So, this is your chance to experience World War II like never before, from the people who were there.

The film is scheduled to be released in theaters on May 23 and will feature a behind the scenes look of how the film was made. The film will also be released on HBO on June 6. Tickets are on sale so don’t miss your chance to see the war from a different perspective.

Rick Rice: A kid at heart who has loved watching movies from a very young age. Credit must be given to Siskel and Ebert whose film reviews educated me on the world of film inspired me to become a writer myself. I love to read books that range from various topics, copious amounts of research is something that excites me and of course sitting in a movie theater is a highlight of my life. When I'm not watching movies or reading I enjoy listening to foreign music and working hard on finishing my short stories. Currently working on my degree in English with a plan to enroll into Film School with the dream of becoming a screenwriter and director.
