S3E78 -Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Wings Of The Warrior!
On THE WAR EAGLES, by Merian C. Cooper, Cyril Hume et. al.
Episode Notes
Today What Mad Universe?!? takes a trip to Hollywood--and to a movie that never quite existed, Merian C. Cooper's "The War Eagles". A lavish fantasy pulp adventure from the producer and special effects team of "King Kong", this movie almost got made, and might have changed fantasy adventure films forever, but for a quirk of history (well, if you consider World War II a quirk). Eventually released as a novelization much later, the script remains one of cinema's great might-have-beens.
