Sad Effort by William Wellman, 10 July 2007
6/10
Author: whpratt1 from United States

This is an entertaining film from 1933 with Richard Barthelmess,(Jim Blaine) and his brother, Neil Blaine, (Tom Brown) competing against each other as daredevil fliers and a gal named Jill Collins,(Sally Eilers) who is a parachutist and performs at a great many air shows. There is one scene when there is a plane crash and a rescue through poring rain and fog which involved two adults and a small female girl. The general public were alerted and everyone came to the airport to assist in any way that they could at the runway. There is a sad part to this film concerning love which cannot be fulfilled. This film is a B film and William Wellman did his very best to make this film into another "Wings" success, but it failed greatly.
