You're right, Arcano. My bad. Now corrected. It was "Amazing Stories", rather than "Twilight Zone: The Movie". Just put it down to a "Senior's Moment". :lol:

No, not shot in a B-24. As far as I can tell, it wans't actually filmed in any real aircraft - that might provide a hint. ;)

Nope, wrong again. It definitly had a floor. Perhaps I should put you out of your misery?

There were several scenes showing the pilots looking back from the cockpit to the ball turret and from the ball turret forward to the cockpit. In them, they showed a clear viewpath from one end of the fuselage to the other. Problem was, there should have been the mid-upper turret directly behind the cockpit (which appeared as a large cylinder), as well as the navigator and radio-operators' "offices" and finally the bombbay, all of which prevented a clear view from the cockpit back, along the fuselage!

As no one got the answer, I'll throw the next question open to the first taker.

OK, as there appears to be no other takers, I'll post another (easy) question.

In the movie "Sink the Bismark" The lead character never existed. Name that character!

The actor you are referring to is Kenneth More and he played the leading role also in "Reach For The Sky" which told the story of Douglas Bader who lost both his legs but still returned to flying duties with the RAF.

Kenneth More was also outstanding in "A Night to Remember" which told the story of the sinking of Titanic in 1912 (one of my favourite b/w movies).

Best regards.
