IMHO, whether the "The" is capitalized there depends on how the title is parsed. If it's two phrases "Sky Captain" and "The World of Tomorrow" merged then the "The" is capitalized, OTOH if it's one phrase, "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow", possibly with a comma after "Captain", then it's not. -- Qualified immunity = virtual impunity.
