I loved this movie ever since I had it on Laser Disc back in the Old Days.' A great popcorn flick, especially if you are a Jimmy Stewart fan. The DVD is pretty cut and dry. No extra-special features outside what you would expect with a regular DVD. The video transfer is pretty good and sound, as well. August 20, 2008

If you are a James Stewart fan or have an interest in Charles Lindbergh's trans-Atlantic journey, this is a must see. Billy Wilder and the others involved in this 1957 production took an inherently monotonous story (over thirty three hours flying solo in a light plane) and made it into an exciting film. Wilder broke up the monotony with flashbacks about Lindbergh's life in aviation. Some of these flashbacks are a bit tedious.

Wilder apparently remained faithful to Lindbergh's own account of the journey. (I hope to read this book someday.) The film built enough suspense to have me cheering Stewart on at the end. I felt overwhelmed when the plane touched down in Paris. July 12, 2008

Faithfull story of the book written by C.A. Lindbergh. Some jokes have been added that were not in the book, but without spoiling the story. July 3, 2008

My children absolutely LOVE this movie. What an inspiring story! The action is never-ending, even in the portrayal of the long flight over the Atlantic Ocean. You get a real honest-to-goodness glimpse of what it must have been like to fly solo over such a vast expanse of water without anybody else to talk to or keep you awake....what a challenge! The flashbacks that show his recollections of his past are awe-inspiring at times, hilarious in others. An excellent movie for children, too, to demonstrate the qualities of courage, follow-through, etc....in all, a superb example of true manliness. Parents, buy this movie for your children.
Once again, Jimmy Stewart comes through with a stellar performance worthy of the history books! September 1, 2007
