Product Description

Night Flight (DVD)

Polio breaks out in Rio de Janeiro, the serum is in Santiago and there's only one way to get the medicine where it's desperately needed: flown in by daring pilots who risk the treacherous weather and forbidding peaks of the Andes.

]]>

Amazon.com

A fascinating combination of elements went into this 1933 opus: the source book by Little Prince author Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, the handsome gloss of prime-era MGM, and a cast that dazzles like nobody's business. The crowd of stars is led by John Barrymore, as the no-guff chief of a South American airline; Clark Gable, Robert Montgomery, and William Gargan as hotshot flyboys; Helen Hayes and Myrna Loy as nervous pilots' wives; and Lionel Barrymore, crotchety as all get-out, playing his real-life brother's itchy second-in-command. Ah, but all of those stars are upstaged by the real reason to see the film: in an age of great flying pictures, Night Flight boasts some spectacular (at times downright eerie) aerial photography. And if the story tends toward cornball conventions, it does make room for some of Saint-Exupéry's lyrical feeling for the intoxication of flying; he'd been a mail pilot in South America, and his book drew on some of the adventures of flying after dark and the terrifying journey over the Andes. John Barrymore is stuck with the corniest role, a by-god-we'll-get-the-mail-there-on-time-or-die-trying autocrat, but still--he's Barrymore, and he puts it over. Gable's entire performance takes place in his plane, Montgomery gets to dash around a bit on the ground, and Helen Hayes makes the most of one of her rare big-screen appearances. Director Clarence Brown may have been best known for his collaborations with Greta Garbo, but he was also a World War I pilot, and the liberating sense of being above the clouds will be the lasting takeaway from this movie. --Robert Horton

"Lost" MGM Classic Finally Here and not as a Warners Archive

Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2011

Verified Purchase

This Clarence Brown directed MGM pre-code classic has not seen the light of day in over 60 years due to legal issues. What a find! A follow up of sorts to Grand Hotel but it falls short of that mark by only running 85 min this was originally almost two hours but cuts were made after the first preview. This has "All The Stars In The Heavens" of MGM in it. Top billed John Barrymore has a very good role along side his scene stealing brother Lionel. This was the last time they would work together. Clark Gable you never see outside of his airplane and has little dialogue but he shows us why he was " The King" with so little to work with he is amazing. He is teamed with the great Helen Hayes just after their film "The White Sister" unfortunatly no scenes together but she a a very moving scene with John Barrymore showing us why she was a truimph on the stage. Robert Montgomery is a playboy flyer has a great entrance and rounding out the cast are Myrna Loy looking stunning as a concerned wife of pilot William Gargan. The night flying scenes are very well done and the ladies are looking stunning. Very well done and thank you to Warners for putting this as as a regular DVD. This is NOT a Archives DVD-R. The print is fine and crisp just what you would expect. Well done with a bonus short and a cartoon. I can only hope Warners will untie the legal ties to another MGM pre-code classic by Clarence Brown starring Joan Crawford, Robert Montgomery and Nils Asther "Letty Lynton" this deserves to be restored and released as a DVD and also "The Constant Nymph" Warners 1943 classic starring Joan Fontain, Charles Boyer and Alexis Smith needs to be out on DVD but until then but "Night Flight and let them know we want thes "Lost" gems to be available and if you love classic movies you will love this one so sit back and enjoy the flight.

Certainly not Grand Hotel in the clouds....

Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2011

... but interesting and worthwhile just the same. Actually I'd give this one about 3.5/5 stars. MGM gives this story of early forays into night flight in South America the star treatment, but unfortunately we don't get to see most of these stars do what they do best - interact with one another. John Barrymore, as head of the night flight operation, spends most of his time robotically barking out orders or reproaches. Lionel Barrymore, as the inspector who gets no respect, is very good here, gets quite a bit of screen time, and winds up having a prolonged and interesting scene with Robert Montgomery who plays a young pilot.

Helen Hayes, whose most famous film role as Madelon Claudet is no doubt destined to be ignomiously dumped onto DVD-R via the Warner Archive, has lots of screen time here as the wife of a pilot (Jules - played by Clark Gable) who is waiting on her husband to return from his first night flight for a late night celebration supper. As his arrival is delayed more and more throughout the night, so grows her panic.

The oddest thing here is the misuse - or should I say lack of use - of Clark Gable. Throughout the film he is stuck in a plane, mute and motionless. Except for a few log entries that he makes and some of his facial expressions we are really denied a performance here or for that matter, an idea of what is going through his mind.

I'd say it's worthwhile just because it's such an odd departure from what MGM generally did in the 1930's plus it's been locked in the vaults for 75 years due to rights problems. It's interesting to see how Warner Home Video has taken almost a film school approach to what they put out on DVD in the last couple of years. Practically all of their documentaries on film history wind up on pressed DVD, but some pretty entertaining precodes, noirs, and even more modern films such as "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark" wind up in the Warner Archive on DVD-R, a medium that doesn't usually have a life span greater than a couple of years.

Beautifully Shot but a Dull Adaptation

A dull adaptation of an aviation classic. Worth a watch for Exupery aficionados.

excellent DVD package

Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2011

Ok, it's true that the major companies (such as MGM, Warner Home Video, Sony) have been winding down their DVD offerings. The great days of remastered DVD editions of restored classics are no more, so it was a great surprise when Warner Home Video decided to release the long-unavailable NIGHT FLIGHT in this excellent DVD package, complete with a vintage short and a cartoon. The film is a fine example of MGM's all-star entertainments from the early 1930s, this one with John and Lionel Barrymore, Helen Hayes, Clark Gable, Robert Montgomery, Myrna Loy (though William Gargan isn't prominently billed, he does have a major part). The drama is fairly well developed, the flying sequences are truly spectacular, and the stars show why they're stars. Clarence Brown was one of the stalwarts of MGM's directors (he would be the director who worked with Greta Garbo the most), and he does his usual excellent job in keeping this all-star vehicle flying. All in all, a fine package, and certainly recommended now that DVDs are no longer much in production.

I was expecting more of a movie-acting picture. My guess would be the actors had to do this movie for a contract fulfillment. Too bad! It could have been a plot for a much better movie.

Brave Men, A Crazy Business

Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2014

Verified Purchase

For a 1933 production, this was well worth viewing. Strong acting, wonderful flying sequences, rare story. Very few "airplane models" as most of the flying was done in real airplanes, although over the Colorado Rockies and not the Andes. Flying the mail at night and in all kinds of weather faced the same challenges in the US before World War II. Also rare to see the two Barrymores in a movie together, as well as a young Clark Gable. One interesting detail - the first thing one of the pilots did when he got back on the ground was to request a cigarette and smoked it while he was still in the cockpit. The fabric and dope used on these old planes was extremely flammable, but at the time, everyone smoked. Well worth it - as a great black and white movie and unique slice of flying history. M&M
