Major Polan Banks plans an independent feature after the war with Admiral Richard E. Byrd agreeing to cooperate. The project will include rights to Byrd books such as Little America and Alone, and aims to be a thriller based on Byrd’s polar explorations. Crosby Berlin Sandrich musical Blue Skies also looms as a top 1945 project with Ginger Rogers likely in the cast.
