Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: It's a fairly good melodrama, nothing more.
Fresh: A bizarre and gorgeous film to say the least, this masterwork (based on a story fragment written by Hawks in 1938 titled Plane from Barranca) embodies a fantastic range of opposite states of mind and being.
Customer Reviews
Great
Wonderful acting and story! Grant mesmerizes, in my TOP 5 of favs. Worth seeing over and over again!
Hard Story About The Dangers of Flight
A different role for Grant; a hard headed flight service director in South America. Jean Arthur is the fish out of water American that falls for him and Rita Hayworth has a stunning cameo. It's a strange story that makes more sense as the films goes on but still doesn't totally satisfy in the end.
Angels have wings
It was go. There has been movies made in the 80' s that had the same type of falling in love too quick. There isn't original idea
