BOAC Pilots by Art & Hue
To mark 85 years of the airline BOAC and 70 years of the jet-set Ealing film, Art & Hue presents Out of the Clouds, a new collection of stylish pop art inspired by the golden age of air travel.
Opening at the Leicester Square Theatre in London on the 10th of February 1955, Out of the Clouds is a charming snapshot of an era when flying was a glamourous affair.
Produced by Ealing Studios’ head Michael Balcon, and directed by Basil Dearden from a screenplay by John Eldridge & Michael Relph, the cast also includes Fiona Clyne, Sid James, Jill Melford and Katie Johnson.
The Ealing Studios production filmed on location at “London Airport” which later expanded to became Heathrow.
Strictly speaking, Robert Beatty plays the airline’s Chief Duty Officer in the film but, standing airside with a real-life BOAC staff member in front of the BOAC aeroplane, they look as resplendent as pilots in their uniforms.
Vying with Anthony Steel‘s character for the attention of Eunice Gayson‘s stewardess, Canadian actor Robert Beatty also starred in the Irish Ealing comedy “Another Shore” with Moira Lister, Stanley Holloway & Wilfrid Brambell.

An official collaboration with Studiocanal, this print is part of the Out of the Clouds collection of stylish pop art prints inspired by the charming Ealing film, featuring Art & Hue’s signature halftone style (halftone is an age-old technique that uses dots to make up the printed image, similar to newspapers or comic books).
