Trivia:
The movie shows Earhart finishing third in the first Santa Monica-to-Cleveland Women's Air Derby in 1929, but does not explain why. At the last stop before the final leg of the race to Cleveland, Earhart and her friend Ruth Nichols were tied for first. Nichols took off right before Earhart, but her aircraft clipped a tractor on the runway and flipped over. Instead of taking off, Earhart ran to Ruth's plane to drag her to safety. After Earhart was sure that Nichols was not seriously hurt, she took off for Cleveland but finished third largely due to her delayed takeoff. more

A tasteful, excellent film... way more than what some reviewers have said, well written, well acted,and thoroughly enjoyable. I'd recommend it for young women as a history lesson and story about what women have done in American history. And, I recommend it to all the women who have fought so hard for women's rights, and all the men who truly love women. Will someone please do movies on many of the other wonderful women of our history? And, follow the example of this film, please. Congratulations to everyone involved! I almost didn't go because of some of the silly reviews from people saying it was long, or the end was bad, or it was like a Discovery Ch. travel picture. Do these sad souls need a lot of cranky language and boring crashes just to feel like they've seen a movie, too many video games? This was beautiful and thoughtful... Thank you!
