Customer Reviews of Jet Pilot / Instructional
Early 50's Sex Film Tight sweaters and provacative scenes are what this movie is about. Poor acting and a stupid script are there just to fill time. However, the flying footage is great. If you aren't into vintage aircraft, don't waste your time or money.
When the soup hits the fan?
Ok, it pretty hokey & is one of John Wayne lesser efforts. But the aerial shots are superior. Janet Leigh is a luscious Ruskie spy. John Wayne is a leering Air Force pilot. She gets naked for him, but you'll have to use your imagination.

>Dumb plot. Apparently the word "sex" hadn't been invented in 1950. It's Howard Hughes week & this is his movie. Great pilot & once again the shots of the F-86's in the air are excellent. A great movie maker? Not.
bi-polar rating
As noted by others, the wonderful aerial scenes, including a sequence with actual flying footage of the Bell X-1, plus all the shots of Korean War-vintage aircraft, make this movie more than worthwhile for aviation buffs (especially knowing that Chuck Yeager participated in the flying). Most of this is original footage shot for 'Jet Pilot' -- with the cooperation of the USAF; no grainy stock shots, minimal fake process shots. If one can overcome the ludicrous story and dramatics, its jaw-dropping badness can become entertaining (consider the 'atomic-powered' fighter jets which can fly all over the northern hemisphere without refueling!).

>Of interest to military buffs in this 1950 movie (having a delayed 1957 theatrical release) is the mix of brown and blue uniforms for Air Force personnel, the brown uniforms being a hold-over from AAF days. As an independent service the Air Force probably was less than three years old when 'Jet Pilot' was filmed.

>For cinema/home theatre buffs, note that because 'Jet Pilot' was made in 1950, it was NOT filmed NOR framed for widescreen, so for its 1957 release it would have been illegitimately cropped at the top and bottom to achieve a widescreen effect during theatrical projection. The DVD letterbox bands simulate this effect, but the authentic video framing should be 1.33:1, which corresponds to the full 1.37:1 Academy frame used in production.
