Discography

In 1954 John Wayne starred in a movie called "The High and The Mighty" about a commercial airliner that develops engine problems on a trans-pacific flight. Wayne plays the washed-up co-pilot. Wayne's character has to bring the plane in safely, when the pilot loses his nerve. I watched the movie many years ago and found it great. However, what made the biggest impression on me was the final scene when Wayne leaves the plane whisteling the theme song. The High and The Mighty.
