Memphis Belle

Director: Michael Caton-Jones

Overview

Filmed in the patriotic spirit of pre-Vietnam-era war pictures, the fact-based Memphis Belle details the climactic mission of a B-17 bomber squadron during World War II. The ten-man crew is led by pilot Dennis Dearborn (Matthew Modine) and his co-pilot Luke Sinclair (Tate Donovan); other members include a radio operator (Eric Stoltz), a bombardier (Billy Zane), and a tail-gunner (singer Harry Connick Jr.). The film was produced by Catherine Wyler, whose legendary father William helmed a documentary about the same mission in 1943.
