Who knows how many times I've watched it, LOL. I finally got the DVD as a gift several years ago and watch it whenever I need a lift. I'm a licensed pilot and the nuances in the movie - the attention to details (which you don't see in movies now including long emotional camera shots) - this film had it all. The engine sputtering to a start while the passengers clap their hands to try and help the prop blades keep turning, Jimmy Stewart preparing to fly the 'toy airplane' as he puts his leather gloves on - everyone looking back at the crash site as they fly away finally free of their desert prison - all great details! I also found the song after searching for a long time on the Web. Whenever my Dad hears this song played (he's a WWII vet) he becomes very melancholy and teary-eyed. BTW the links for the movie on YouTube may have changed but if you search for the movie you will find it again. The movie is one of my favorites. Who knows how many times I’ve watched it, LOL.
