How about Jet Pilot with John Wayne and a hot redheaded chick. All the flying scenes were done by Chuck Yeager.
Janet Leigh.
The chick was Janet Leigh.
That "hot redheaded chick" was Janet Leigh. It was directed by Josheph Von Stenberg, his last film as a director I believe.
That was Janet Leigh in all her glory circa 1953 when the film was shot, but producer Howard Hughes mucked around and did not release it until 1957.
I saw that film in its first run in a theater in Dallas, Texas. I went in a 10-year old boy... But when Janet took off that sweater in the first reel... I became a man!
BTW Hughes was able to get a lot of USAF support in making the film (Like those 60 plus F-86s flying in formation!) including many aircraft semi-secret like the X-1 and its B-29 carrier. However, all the delays over four years before its release made all those geewiz planes nothing special. The film did not do much at the box office and as I recall was not released to video until the 1990s.
