Sinopsis
Film basado en la novela de Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, se trata de un melodrama de suspense que tiene como principal base argumental a los arriesgados pilotos de correos, que hacen todo lo posible para que la carga del avión llegue sana y salva a su destino. Rivière (John Barrymore) es uno de los más célebres en la base, siempre luchando por salvaguardar a sus hombres de cualquier peligro. Cuando uno de sus hombres muere, se jura a sí mismo que no volverá a perder a nadie más.
Película recordada por el accidente que le ocurrió al especialista Jim Unger -que doblaba al personaje de Clark Gable en una peligrosa escena-, que se quedó sin oxígeno al saltar desde un avión.
Review Summary
This suspense drama was based on a novel by Antoine de Saint-Exupery. Riviere (John Barrymore), who operates an air delivery service, is fanatical in his dedication to service, putting prompt delivery before the safety of his men or his fleet after receiving a contract to help transport the mail. Riviere's risk-taking earns him the contempt of his pilots, including Jules (Clark Gable), who, despite his misgivings, does his best to satisfy Riviere's punishing schedule. When Jules is lost after a dangerous mission, Riviere has to tell his wife (Helen Hayes) that her husband has died, but despite losing another pilot (William Gargan), Riviere responds by demanding that more pilots be called up to ensure that the letters will be delivered on time. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Night Flight (1933)
October 7, 1933
John and Lionel Barrymore, Helen Hayes and Others in a Pictorial Adaptation of 'Night Flight.'
With its excellent acting by an imposing list of players and the meticulous attention to details of flying, both on land and in the air, the film translation of the prize novel, "Night Flight," written by the French air-mail pilot, Antoine de Saint-Exupery, is a vivid and engrossing production. This feature, which is at the Capitol, also has the unique advantage of a drama that happens within twenty-four hours.
The stage is set in South America, in Buenos Aires and other places, and the narrative tells of the supposed first night flights in that section of the world. Its human moments are contrasted with the rigid discipline exerted by Riviere, the managing director of the company running the mail planes. There are thrilling glimpses of an airplane battling its way through fog and others revealing a machine blown out to sea during an electrical storm. According to the wife of one pilot, flying in the dark is risking the lives of pilots just to give somebody in Paris the satisfaction of receiving a post on Tuesday instead of Thursday. Even Daudet, the president of the company, fails to influence the iron-willed Riviere. No matter what the weather, Riviere orders the planes to take off for their respective points, and it happens that one of the machines is bearing not merely letters, but much-desired serum to save lives.
It is probably the most authentic flying story that has come to the screen. The glimpses of the pilots in the planes sending messages to the radio control room on an aviation field and then the reception of the messages, are most effective. It has well-balanced scenes and strong suspense. You see two men in an airplane, that has fuel for only one-half hour, being blown out to sea sending the information to those on land. Then there is a wife of the pilot awaiting her husband for dinner. She tries dining alone, but the idea of her husband being overdue is too much for her nerves; so she goes to the company's headquarters, after calling up Riviere on the telephone.
One light-hearted pilot arrives on the field still clad in his dinner jacket, and he quickly dons his flying togs over the evening clothes. Lights on a huge map of South America give Riviere the information concerning the progress of the different airplanes. Many of the scenes are revealed by expert and imaginative methods. One may be gazing at one of the lights and it gradually opens up and reveals a glimpse of a flying field, a wife at home, or a pilot speeding through a fog-ridden cavern in a mountainous region.
The characters are exceptionally well drawn. Riviere, played by John Barrymore, is no heartless villain, but a disciplinarian whose aim is to make the night flights a success. He takes his chief inspector to task for dining with one of the pilots, explaining that superiors and their subordinates must keep their place no matter where. It is for the good of the air-mail service. Mr. Barrymore gives a sterling portrayal of this stern Riviere.
Lionel Barrymore interprets the rôle of the inspector Robineau in his usual eminently satisfactory style. Helen Hayes is cast as Mme. Fabian, the distracted wife of a pilot. Clark Gable handles the part of Fabian, the aviator, who, with his colleague, parachutes to a watery grave. Robert Montgomery does well as the jolly young flier who brings his machine to port on time. C. Henry Gordon, William Gargan, Leslie Fenton and Frank Conroy are among others who deliver good performances.[/quote]
