It was written and produced by Jules Furthman, and presented by Howard Hughes. Filming lasted more than eighteen months, beginning in 1949. The last day of shooting was in May 1953, but the Technicolor film was kept out of release by Hughes due to his tinkering until October 1957, by which time Hughes had sold RKO. Universal-International ended up distributing Jet Pilot. This was Hughes's last film work before his death of kidney failure on April 5, 1976. ## Credits - **Director:** [Josef von Sternberg](https://cinepixo.com/people/josef-von-sternberg) - **Screenplay:** [Jules Furthman](https://cinepixo.com/people/jules-furthman) - **Original Music Composer:** [Bronisław Kaper](https://cinepixo.com/people/bronis-aw-kaper) - **Producer:** [Howard Hughes](https://cinepixo.com/people/howard-hughes) - **Director of Photography:** [Winton Hoch](https://cinepixo.com/people/winton-hoch) ## Cast - [Roland Winters](https://cinepixo.com/people/roland-winters) - [Hans Conried](https://cinepixo.com/people/hans-conried) - [Janet Leigh](https://cinepixo.com/people/janet-leigh) - [Jay C.
