Featured review
When flying is in your blood you just can't help going too far
The most memorable part here is Anne Baxter as Lucille, a nurse, who marries the eldest of the four brothers, William Holden, while that practically makes her the wife of all of them, since they stick together, live together and work together and even risk their lives together. That's the problem. In such a risky business there has to be some casualties, and they are devastating. In the 20s it was definitely risking your life challenging the weather if it was fog or rains or storms or snows or any rough weather, and unfortunately these daredevil flyers were not sensible enough to back down and refuse the challenge, especially if it gave you a bonus. So actually three of the four brothers end up badly, one of them survives but as a cripple, and one simply disappears completely. The fourth one was sensible enough to stick to the earth while he was still alive and got an ordinary humdrum job on the ground. But the other three had lives worth living.
