I've just watched the film "Fate is the Hunter". Not a bad film for its era, but how it can claim to be based on the book is beyond me. Unless you can claim significant co-incidences. BTW, if you want to watch James Stewart play a pilot, I can recommend "Strategic Air Command". Worth it for the aircraft shots alone; and he does play the part well. Watch for the Freudian slip he makes, which is not picked up by the director.
