HUMAN SIDE OF WAR
PRESENTED IN PICTURES Years give a certain sane and levelling perspective to events. With the World War a dozen years away, it is now possible to produce a war drama which depicts humanity rather than the startling and bizarre. Screen audiences are now willing to see hatred relegated to the background to make way for truth. Robbed of abhorrence, robbed of tragic deathbed scenes, Paramount’s “Young Eagles,” an all-talking picture of the aerial forces in the World War, starring Charles (Buddy) Rogers, is built on the novel theme of the affection and friendship which sprang up between two enemy aces. The thrill of expert air combats and manoeuvres put a war tempo to the production. Woven against this background is the romance of a girl spy and her trusting soldier lover. “Young Eagles” was completed recently under the expert direction of William Wellman, former war flier and the man who made Paramount’s "Wings.” Paul Lukas is cast as the German ace and friend of Rogers, and Jean Arthur portrays the girl spy. Others in the supporting cast are Stuart Erwin, Frank Ross, Gorden de Main and Stanley Blystone.
