The reconciliation between the pilots´group, booze in hand, once Kid is gone looks like a religious ceremony, kind of communion (remember the burnt hands of the redeemed Barthelmess). Great Howard Hawks. Great Columbia. Great american movies of the thirties and forties. The canon.
Richard Barthelmess's face at 3:40, when he realizes the Kid has forgiven him... that, my friends, is acting. Love the beautiful song that underscores this scene - gives it such poignancy.
There are so many links between this film and another of Howard Hawks', To Have and Have Not (1944). Even some of the lines are the same for example 'I'm hard to get Geoff, all you have to do is ask me' is repeated by Lauren Bacall in THAHN to Humphrey Bogart, except she obviously says Steve instead of Geoff. Still both brilliant movies though :P
i don't doubt that this film is great, but i'm having a really hard time seeing it in order. how the heck were these loaded and why weren't they numbered? come one!
i watched this film bec. it was jean arthur and cary grant but it seemed like they could of completely done without the romance in this story. there really was no need for it except I can see the studio telling the director that he would be out of his mind if he thought a movie abt airplanes would make the box office. but it was a gd part for grant, he played a legitimate testosterne driven man as opposed to Mr. Sauve.
This is one of my favorite films of all time, even though I haven't watched it in a long while. Nevertheless, I'm really glad to have found it on YouTube!
I just finished watching it and favorited it on my channel. Cary Grant and Jean Arthur are wonderful together while the film itself is such a classic, brilliant, and fantastic gem. (Howard Hawks was/is a damn great and brilliant director).
Thanks so much for posting this fantastic film up! :-)
@whirlwind6 Lol, no reason to curse the poor guy, all men are beautiful if their heart is in the right place. It's not looks for women, in the end, that might be the first attraction, but what matters to a woman of worth is character. I understand, men see it from their perspective, what the eyes can see, and project that on the rest of the world. Well think of how the opposite sex sees it.
Soooooo good!

This film reminds me of Test Pilot (1938) starring Clark Gable, Spencer Tracy and Myrna Loy. Thanks for uploading this!

He does indeed. At least he makes up for it by educating us about how to behave.
