Sabre Jet

Sabre Jet (1953)

The story of jet pilots flying over Korea by day, from their Itazuke Air Base in Japan, and of their wives, on station with them, who have dinner ready when they return. Jane Carter (Coleen Gray), a reporter for a large newspaper syndicate arrives... she's also the estranged wife of the assistant squadron commander, Colonel Gil Manton (Robert Stack.) At first, she goes at her assignment of getting a story on the pilots wives with the same ruthlessness and persistence that broke up her marriage - but a mirror isn't needed to peek around the corner to where this one is headed.

豆知識

Sabre Jet is a 1953 American drama war film set during the Korean War, directed by Louis King and starring Robert Stack, Coleen Gray, Richard Arlen, Julie Bishop and Leon Ames. It was shot in Cinecolor using United States Air Force footage. Sabre Jet was based on a story by the producer Carl Krueger with the screenplay written by the husband and wife playwright and screenwriting team of Dale Eunson and Katherine Albert. The opening credits state: "This picture is dedicated to the air force wives who shared their men with a world made desperate by the most brutal aggressor in history."

Production

Producer Carl Krueger had previously produced the William Wyler aviation film Thunderbolt! (1947) that was shot during World War II but not released until after the conflict.

The film was announced in February 1953. Krueger would make it independently for United Artists.

Sabre Jet was made in cooperation with the United States Air Force and used four Korean War veterans of the air war as technical advisors. The film was mostly shot at Nellis Air Force Base near Las Vegas but also featured extensive use of actual World War II aerial combat film footage. When Sabre Jet eventually was relegated to television broadcasts, the film was screened in a black-and-white version.

The aircraft seen in Sabre Jet include Lockheed F-80 Shooting Star fighters as well as F-86 Sabres. Other aircraft included Republic F-84 Thunderjet, Aeronca L-16A, Douglas A-26 Invader and Boeing B-29 Superfortress (in archive footage). A number of F-86 Sabres were repainted to act as MiG-15s.
