It has to be one of the few movies with an engineer as hero, and perhaps the *only* one about a metallurgist. Marlene Dietrich was co-star, and the movie was just wonderful... I just wish I could remember the title. Maybe it was something like "No [something] in the Sky". The basic plot was that Stewart had to figure out why the wings kept falling off a new airplane before too many people died. I'm just not sure that catching the dreaded glitch with a logic analyzer will have quite the same impact...
