This isn’t a movie per se, it’s a great period piece, a promo for the Lockheed Super Constellation, that likely would have preceded many cinema showings of classic aviation movies of a certain era, 1951 - 1958.
Looks like this promo might’ve inspired the writers of Star Trek, too, first airing over a decade later. Watch for it in the intro:

Since there are so many aviation and aviation movie buffs gathered on this thread, I thought the related diversion would be appreciated.
