1939 • Cary Grant, Jean Arthur, Rita Hayworth
Directed by real-life pilot Howard Hawks, this gem is often overshadowed by all the other great
films released in 1939. But this is one heck of a movie. It’s the story of mail carriers in South
America who must fly in bad conditions through a perilous mountain pass. Along with Cary
Grant and Jean Arthur, this is the first major role for glamorous Rita Hayworth. The film is
an epic drama with adventure, action, thrills, suspense, and love – and some great flying
sequences.
