god is my co - pilot was based on the best - selling autobiography by fighter pilot col. robert lee scott jr. (dennis morgan), who fought in the pacific during world war ii. at 34, scott was considered too old to fly in combat, but he volunteered for a secret bombing raid from the philippines against the japanese capital of tokyo. when the mission is cancelled after he arrives in india, scott flies transport aircraft over the hump into china .
it comes to a head in possibly the film' s silliest single scene, which finds whip visiting his bible - thumping co - pilot and the man' s wife at his hospital bedside. (when whip says he' s happy to be alive, mrs. co - pilot quickly corrects him :

)
nothing happens by accident in the kingdom of the lord ,
the co - pilot thunders, as the wife actually kisses the cross around her neck behind him, a moment of both painful literalism and amateurish upstaging. she then starts proclaiming
praise jesus
during her husband' s little sermon, a moment that is played for oddly incongruent laughs, since the movie is barely subtler than she is .

god is my co - pilot
could have been great but as this film suffers from a disjointed and confusing narrative, apart from a lack of plot, i find the final results to be disappointing. the best things about this film, are the dogfight scenes and the performance of alan hale as the irish missionary. dennis morgan is o. k but rather wooden. i noticed that he seemed to change in appearance over a brief period of 3 years, morgan looks rather older in the film and i' m sure he wasn' t that old in 1945. raymond massey is good as the superior officer and it made a change for him to play a more likeable character. dane clark is completely wasted, he hardly has any screentime and yet he is near the top of the cast! some of the dialogue between the americans and the japanese in the dogfight scenes seemed rather silly and out of place somehow. i wasn' t particularly impressed. robert florey' s direction isn' t bad but judging by his efforts with

after andrea king received rave notices for her very first featured role at warner bros. in 1944’s “the very thought of you, ” things began to happen very quickly for the promising young actress. she was thrown into a string of back - to - back films, and the studio’s well - tuned, star - making process began. one of those projects was the wartime drama “god is my co - pilot” (warner bros. , 1945), in which she played opposite dennis morgan as his hometown sweetheart and wife. the film was based on the real - life heroic adventures of col. robert l. scott and his fighting tigers squadron that had recently claimed a huge victory overseas assisting china’s battle against the japanese. col. scott had penned his memoirs rather quickly in a best - seller with the same title, and warners purchased the film rights and began production immediately .

yet the hand of god (well, his disciples, anyway) is all over flight. when whip brings in his plane for its open - field landing, the wing crashes into the steeple of a nearby church, whose members are performing baptisms in a nearby pond, wouldn' t you know it, at that very instant. (it' s a laughably unsubtle moment in a movie filled with them .) shortly before the flight, the chief flight attendant is giving whip the business for not going to church; as he lays in the hospital recovering, his pilot' s union rep (bruce greenwood) tells him ,
the way you landed that plane was nothing short of a miracle .
while in the hospital, whip shares a secret smoke with a cancer patient, who delivers a faith - floating monologue, assigning the randomness of the universe—everything from his cancer to his impending death to his meeting the pilot at that moment—to the big guy upstairs. the co - pilot' s wife, we' re told, has informed the press ,

intentionally awkward title :
god
as an interjection was still considered a swear word by a lot of folks in 1977. at least one newspaper (the mormon - owned deseret news in salt lake city) refused to print the title of the original. the movie ads would just label it as
a comedy starring george burns
or even just show his picture along with quotes from the film. probably because it was such a good - natured film (with god portrayed positively), the sequels didn' t have this problem at all .

a rousing wartime drama, based on the autobiography of col. robert lee scott, jr. , a decorated flying tiger fighter pilot. colonel scott was operating cargo planes over the himalayan hump. he dreamed of serving his country more directly, but was originally told he was too old. scott eventually convinced a superior to allow him and his flying tigers to fly combat missions to assist the chinese against japan. dennis morgan stars as the unlikely hero, but the show is stolen by raymond massey as major general chennault. the supporting cast is filled with notable character actors including richard loo as scott' s nemesis, tokyo joe. the film is filled with philosophical questions about fate and survival during war and what role faith plays. in its original release in 1943, some gory sequences passed through the production code because the violence shown is all against the japanese, america' s enemy .
