Oh I just love this picture! I saw it when I was still in pigtails and is the picture that lit the fires of my love for silent film. I need to watch it again...thanks for posting about this, I completely forgot about wings!

Thank you for sharing about another excellent classic silent film with us. The kiss scene in Wings really makes one stop and reflect on how coding halted/stunted the potential progress in terms of more advanced views on sexuality and other (at the time) taboo subjects.
