Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Right up the alley of romantics and action fans. A good pick for a cozy night in. Same wavelength as Stardust.
The mood
Warm and romantic.
The pace
Moves at a clip, at 1 hr 20 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1925: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if romance makes you roll your eyes.

Russ Kane obtains work as a pilot in the airmail service with the purpose of robbing the mails. However, during his training period at the Reno field, he becomes imbued with the spirit of the service and dedicates himself to getting the mail through.
