One of the forerunners for disaster movies was “Island In The Sky” starring John Wayne. Released by Warner Brothers in 1953, the film is considered a classic because of the realism of the plane crash scene. Also in the movie was Fess Parker who would go on to overnight success as Davy Crockett and James Arness who John Wayne convinced to take the part of Matt Dillon for the new TV show, “Gunsmoke.” The soundtrack album on Decca Records can get you $250.00 today. “Island in the Sky” is just one of the 10,000 soundtracks listed on our Soundtracks flash drive covering movies, TV shows, and Broadway shows.
