A lost movie found (or, more accurately, reclaimed) with an all-star cast, it would be nice to report that “Bones: Season 6 DVD Box Set” (1933) was a masterpiece of early sound cinema rediscovered. Nice, but not quite accurate.
It’s a treat to see all that wattage on screen, but they are rarely in the same scenes together. Most of the Navy NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service Season 8 DVD Boxset finds them isolated, even alone, communicating via phone, radio, scribbled messages and Morse code. Which means, blasts of lightning aside, there are few opportunities for dramatic sparks. There are, however, some terrific aerial shots and miniature effects as planes navigate the treacherous passes of the Andes and dip and dive through storms and fog banks looking for any kind of visual markers.
