The Spirit of St. Louis (1957)

Posted on 01:01 by uthpa
Recommended
USA
Feature Film
Director: Billy Wilder
Writers: Billy Wilder, Wendell Mayes, Charles A. Lindbergh
Cinematographers: Robert Burks, J. Peverell Marley, Thomas Tutwiler
Cast: James Stewart, Murray Hamilton, Patricia Smith, Bartlett Robinson, Marc Connelly, Arthur Space, Charles Watts
Stewart is excellent if far too old for the difficult role of Charles Lindbergh, the first man to fly non-stop across the Atlantic ocean, in Wilder’s by turns thrilling, funny, and suspenseful chronicling of the aforementioned historic flight; a minor work from wilder, but a hugely enjoyable one, never the less.
