DVR B-17 alert: The Biggest Bundle of Them All on TCM 11-29

Sat Nov 23, 2019 2:54 pm

This hasn't been on TV or TCM in years, that I can recall. It stars B-17G 44-8846/F-BGSP (now known as Pink Lady) in the final scene, and also Raquel Welch (if you're into those sort of things :mrgreen: ). It's airing Friday, November 29 at 6:00 AM (ET).

Per TCM, it's available on DVD if you want to pull some screenshots (on sale at $15.95).

Any response I can think of would probably be viewed as obscene... :lol:

So, you’re saying the film stars have four big radials and two big radials respectively. Got it!

Just saw this ending and it’s a really good B-17 sequence, thanks for putting this on! Raquel is perfect. The B-17 shots in color are excellent.

And in retrospect it’s a pretty smart sequence as regard to the writing and plot. The B-17’s unique center panel is a part of the sfory as the sameness of the gear, flap and bomb bay toggle switches figure into the “surprise” ending.

Yes, although I did notice that the platinum was being loaded in the waist gunners' area, not the bomb bay geek ... Well, hopefully Godfrey Cambridge's character managed to get a few bucks for the bar he pocketed!

ETA: The B-17 carries tail number "134399"; 41-34399 was an AT-6 transferred to the Navy. The fuselage code is "YR-G" which is pure fiction as far as I can tell.
