Proa al cielo
Sound Editor
Douglas Bader, uno de los grandes héroes británicos de la II Guerra Mundial (1939-1945), vio incrementada su popularidad cuando, en 1954, tras publicarse su biografía, apareció una versión abreviada de la misma en la popular revista Reader's Digest. En esa obra se basó el film de Gilbert, el más taquillero de Inglaterra desde el estreno de “Lo que El Viento se Llevó”. A pesar de que a finales de los años 20, a Bader le habían amputado las dos piernas, tras un accidente aéreo, gracias a unas prótesis de aluminio pudo participar en la Batalla de Inglaterra.

Don't Get Me Wrong
Editor
Don't Get Me Wrong is a 1937 British comedy film co-directed by Arthur B. Woods and Reginald Purdell and starring Max Miller and George E. Stone. It was made at Teddington Studios with sets designed by Peter Proud. Unlike several of Miller's Teddington films which are now lost, this still survives. Miller plays a fairground performer who meets a professor who claims to have invented a cheap substitute for petrol. They team up and persuade a millionaire to finance them to develop and market the product, while unsavoury elements are keen to steal the formula and try all means to get their hands on it, involving slapstick chases and double-crosses. It then turns out that the miracle fluid is diluted coconut oil, and the genius professor is an escaped lunatic. The millionaire finds himself taking the brunt of the disappointment.
