    Well this flim Visually is pretty drab, and it's quite pointlessly photographed in Cinemascope. The portion detailing the flight itself is broken up by superfluous flashbacks, too obviously just a device to create the illusion of time passing. Another dubious device sees Lindbergh conveying his thoughts to us, the viewer, by chatting to a fly trapped in his cockpit! Silly as that undoubtedly is, I can sympathise with the makers' desire to supplement or limit Stewart's voice-over before it got too tedious.

    Tense, interesting flick of Charles Lindbergh, who flew from NY to Paris in 1927, setting a record. I really love this flick, because you can see the conflict within Stewart, his childhood days, his days flying the mail plane and the ending of it. Another great inspirational flick on Lindbergh .

    A good movie but did get slow at times. Then again, I definitely credit to Billy Wilder and Jimmy's acting (which was mainly reaction shots to narrations) for making it as interesting as it was. I mean an hour of one man in a plane? Good movie, but not great.

    While an extremely solid movie, Billy Wilder seems to leave his soul out of this one and just leaves a solid film.

    Jimmy Stewart in a classic role, making the inner struggles of Lindburgh as relavent as the machine's.

    A great picture, although the best parts of the movie are in the first hour and the ending seems rather anti-climatic it still couldn't take away from the spirit. At 48 years old James Stewart portrayed the young Charles Lindbergh magnificently
