Cary Grant was 35 years old when this film was released, so he was already a movie star, and although it wasn't my favorite role of his he did okay.
Rita Hayworth on the other hand was only 21 years old at the time of this movie, and according to some reviews I read online, this was her breakthrough movie. She is not a lead in the movie, but has a big enough part that you can tell that she is destined for Hollywood fame. Jean Arthur is one of the best, and she did not disappoint me in this movie as she did a fantastic job.
The movie is about a fierce boss (Grant) who manages a group of mail pilots who fly missions in the worst weather you can imagine. He puts their life at risk, but is just as tough as his subordinates and is willing to make flights himself.
The movie is also about how Jean Arthur and Cary Grant fall in love, and how Grant must face his former girlfriend (Hayworth) as she shows up unexpectedly. This is a fun 3 star movie. Not fantastic, but fun given who is in the movie.
Thomas Mitchell (It's a Wonderful Life) plays a big part in the role and really does a good job.
