It is also a razor-sharp example of the action-oriented films of Howard Hawks, the wide-ranging auteur who would go on to make To Have and Have Not and Red River. This one is set in Barranca, a South American port city swathed in perpetual night fog, where a band of mail pilots struggle daily to get their planes through a treacherous mountain pass. They don't care about the mail so much as they live by the rules of adventure, professionalism, and friendly rivalry. Cary Grant is the leader of this daredevil group, a man who won't be pinned down to anything except his own code of stoicism. ('I don't believe in laying in a supply of anything,' he says, which may be why he's always asking people for matches to light his cigarettes.) His cool style is tested by the arrival of a wisecracking blonde (Jean Arthur) and an ex-mistress (Rita Hayworth); Rita's now married to a pilot (Richard Barthelmess), disgraced by a single act of cowardice. Hawks always got great mileage from throwing a bunch of colorful characters together in an enclosed space, where death could strike in a moment. The great secret about Hawks is that although his feel for action was crackling, he was really more interested in the way people exchanged sidelong glances or lit each other's cigarettes--there's a lot of both in Only Angels Have Wings. --Robert Horton Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Believe Me This Angel Has Wings! Cary Grant, Jean Arthur, Rita Hayworth and such go town to South America where airplane pilots working for the banana industry fly in some pretty dangerous places. A lot of drama and excitement. Who will Cary end up with? Is Jean pregnant - Hollywood style? What is wrong with Rita's new husband? Why doesn't anybody like him, no matter what he does and what did he do to make them hate him? Do you really forget people who died 20 minutes ago? I loved this movie. It was very fun and exciting! ... Read More Rating: - VERY ENTERTAINING & LIVELY GRANT FILM! One of the best Grant films I've seen so far. This film is included on a Cary Grant box set I purchased along with four other top Grant films. This one is my second favorite of the lot. I still have one more to go. The entire cast is very good in this lively romance adventure. It's a little melodramatic in spots, but weren't they all back then? The DVD transfer is very good on the box set and there are a few extras. Rating: - Never got off the ground I loved The Talk of the Town with Cary Grant and Jean Arthur and was hoping this would be as good. Where that had a solid script that supported all the slapdash wonderfully silly humor of that era....this had a supposed adventure story set in some would-be exotic locale. Nothing was believable. We see the set-up---supposedly heartless heroic type (Grant) who won't commit to any love but that of flying meets spunky, independent entertainer (Arthur). She fancies herself something of an ... Read More Rating: - Only Angels Have Wings Elements of drama and romance co-mingle with the serious business of men being men in this involving, exciting adventure story. Grant stretches his screen persona effortlessly as a tough guy with little humor and no polish, and Arthur makes a spunky love interest. Hayworth looks particularly stunning in a pivotal early role, and Thomas Mitchell also shines as Kid Dabb, a loyal older pilot who's losing his bearings. This heroic outing soars. Rating: - Classic Cary Cary Grant and Jean Arthur at their best. Great supporting cast sometimes overwhelm the "stars" but these two manage to steal the show. It don't get no better than this!! Look for very young Rita Hayworth in minor role. see more Browse for similar items by category: By Theme - Action & Adventure - Genres - VHS - Video - Buddy Films Action & Adventure - Genres - VHS - Video - Classics Action & Adventure - Genres - VHS - Video - Romantic Adventure Action & Adventure - Genres - VHS - Video - General AAS Drama - Genres - VHS - Video - General AAS
