Cary Grant, Jean Arthur d/ Howard Hawkes
Fast-paced, event-packed melodrama from the Columbia studio machine in 1939. Set in an unnamed South American hellhole, this tells the story of a ragtag flying operation trying to win a mail delivery contract. If only they didn't have to go over that pass...
Nothing in this film was believable but that wasn't the point. The point was delivering exotic entertainment to a nation weary from ten years of economic suffering and anxious about the forthcoming war. The film fairly dripped testosterone...men were men and women were accessories...death, broken limbs, shootings...nothing stopped these guys from completing their appointed rounds.
