From flying boats to jumbo jets Pan Am was featured in many films and television programs. The most extensive Pan Am footage is in the film "China Clipper. This 1936 film, starring Hugh O'Brien and Humphrey Bogart, closely traces Pan Am's birth through the first Trans-Pacific flight with the China Clipper. Starting in the 1960s Pan Am would appear in four James Bond adventure films as well as the light hearted comedies "That Touch of Mink" and "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory." Pan Am was also seen in "I Love Lucy, The Beverly Hillbillies and the English TV series "The Saint." Below is a list of Films (listed alphabetically by title) that include Pan Am.
