À propos de ce film

Celebrate the historic May 20, 1927 flight of "The Spirit of St. Louis" with screen legend Jimmy Stewart ("It's a Wonderful Life," "The Philadelphia Story") as aerial legend Charles Lindbergh. Writer-director Billy Wilder ("Some Like It Hot," "Double Indemnity") brings a lavish, suspense-filled recounting of Lindbergh's historic trip from New York to Paris, the first non-stop solo flight across the Atlantic, based on the famous pilot's autobiography.

Notes et avis

Magnificent story of Lindbergh and the background that brought him to the incredible feat of solo trans-atlantic crossing in a single engined relatively small aircraft which he helped to design. I first saw it in a movie theater in montrose CA age 9 or 10, having already read the pulitzer prize winning book.

Exciting and interesting!

Good move' takes you back to yesteryear.
