Another strong work from Hawks: strong men, adamant women and outstanding dialogs. It even has airoplanes in it - what else one could wish for? A film without faults.

Hawks' macho-but-not-really paradigm gets the ultimate workout from the equally three-dimensional Cary Grant. If it lacks the political intrigue of Casablanca, it more than surpasses that film in warmth, adventure, plausibility (especially regarding the central romance) and character. A sadly underappreciated classic.

One of Hawks' most endearing and accomplished films, with a fervent heart underneath its beautiful skin.

Early mix of adventure/drama/comedy that pulls it off exceedingly well with pitch-perfect casting and technique. A classic in the best sense of the word.

A pretty enjoyable film, with some good performances all around. The drama doesn't always work right but the film is strong enough that it still gets its point across.

Classic Hawks flyboy drama. Great acting and directing, plus a little magic somewhere that makes it even better. Thomas Mitchell's death scene--and the aftermath--is a real standout.

The flying scenes are action packed, the setting is exotic, and the characters are interesting. In my opinion, the romance element didn't make much sense, but it was still good.

I couldn't stop thinking how much better it would be with Bogart. Don't get me wrong, I love Cary Grant, this kind of tough-as-nails role isn't suited for him. When Hawks made To Have and Have Not a few years later, it's a very similar movie but with the proper casting of Bogart. However, Jean Arthur is spot on for her part. The plot seems cobbled together from pre-determined scenes, but it's a satisfying adventure story about man's men and their ideals, with a few terrific flying sequences.
