Forever granted a place in cinematic history by winning the first ever Academy Award for Best Picture in 1927 and the only silent film to do so, William Wellmans silent epicWingsis more than an Oscar winner, but an epic story of friendship with the type of thrilling action only practical effects can imagine Hometown best friends Jack (Charles Buddy Rogers) and David (Richard Arlen) compete for the affection of a gorgeous dame (Jobyna Ralston), though Jack doesnt realise that girl next door Mary Preston (Clara Bow) has eyes for him as well. But World War I is soon upon them, so the boys are off to France to fight against the Germans.

Meanwhile, Mary follows Jack into enemy lines as a nurse. Wellmans epic drama combines the most spectacular of stunts with the most classical of melodrama, along with one of Bows greatest performances and the screen debut of Gary Cooper.

The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present this American classic in a beautiful new restoration on Blu-ray and DVD for the first time in the UK.
