Captain of the Clouds was filmed here in Ottawa in glorious Technicolor in July 1941, at Uplands and downtown at the Chateau. Starred James Cagney and Alan Hale Sr. This was a big movie at the time and was about bush pilots who joined the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan. Other footage was from Trenton and near North Bay. It was a big event when this was filmed. It was released in early 1942 not long after Pearl Harbour.
