Chain Lightning (1950) is a movie that I recently watched on HBOMAX. The storyline follows a World War II pilot that was injured in the war. He falls in love with his nurse and tries to marry her but the chapel is closed. He is sent back to America and he never tries to reunite with his fiancée. He becomes a successful commercial airline test pilot and one day runs into the nurse again, who now works for his company as a secretary. They will need to hash out some old feelings.
This movie is directed by Stuart Heisler (Island of Desire) and stars Humphrey Bogart (Key Largo), Eleanor Parker (The Sound of Music), Raymond Massey (East of Eden) and Richard Whorf (The Beverly Hillbillies).
This has a fairly unique storyline, especially for a Bogart film. The cast is excellent and Bogart and Parker played off each other perfectly. The aerial and cockpit scenes were a lot of fun, the model planes they used for special effects were cool and the sped up sequences were funny. I enjoyed the storyline and how the conclusion comes full circle.
Overall, this isn't Bogart's best film but it has a unique and entertaining storyline. I would score this a 6.5/10 and recommend seeing it once.
