Howard Hawks directed this entertaining drama that stars Cary Grant as Geoff Carter, manager of an air freight service stationed in a remote trading post in South America, where his pilots routinely deliver the mail in dangerous and often foggy conditions between the mountains. Jean Arthur plays Bonnie Lee, a woman who finds herself stranded at his airport, and strangely attracted to the brash and aloof Geoff, whose life is further complicated by the arrival of an old flame(played by Rita Hayworth) and her unpopular flier husband. Thomas Mitchell plays Kid Dabb, an old friend who tries his best to keep Geoff happy and sober. Good film has exciting aerial scenes and amusing dialogue, even if the script has too many complications. Good cast and direction make it work well.
