Customer Reviews

The lives, deaths, and loves of an air freight company.

There is a lot of hype about this movie. Having Howard Hawks as a director cannot hurt. Then there are the majors as Cary Grant, Jean Arthur, Rita Hayworth, etc. Even the secondary actors are well-known. They even took the time to make a Blu-Ray Criterion Collection: - New 4K digital restoration, with an uncompressed monaural soundtrack - Audio excerpts from a 1972 conversation between filmmakers Howard Hawks and Peter Bogdanovich - New interview with film critic David Thomson - Howard Hawks and His Aviation Movies, a new program featuring film scholars Craig Barron and Ben Burtt - Lux Radio Theatre adaptation of the film from 1939, starring Cary Grant, Jean Arthur, Rita Hayworth, Richard Barthelmess, and Thomas Mitchell, and hosted by director Cecil B. DeMille - Trailer - PLUS: An essay by critic Michael Sragow Bonnie Lee (Jean Arthur) steps off the ship in a South American trading port. What was going to be a few-hour stopover changed her life as she met the pilots taking great risks to secure an air delivery contract. Bonnie meets one by one the crew and their girls. Each has a secret. Each has a quest. When she meets the head honcho pilot, Geoff Carter (Cary Grant), she is curious as to his secret and his quest. Looks like she has a secret and is forming a quest of her own. We get to follow their daily trials and tribulations as they get closer to their goal and Bonnie gets closer to Geoff.
