Pilot Jim Clark (Richard Arlen) and the stewardess who loves him, Shirley Brooks (Jean Parker) start an independent airline of their own, conveying couples to Las Vegas to get married and see the town on a whirlwind visit. It’s clear that Shirley hopes all these matrimonial trips will spur Jim to do something along those lines himself, but he is resistant, although sufficiently enamored that he does what he can when a rival appears to be making headway. Yet all this romantic comedy — and plenty of additional comedy is to be found in the passengers and the antics of the mechanic — is a prelude to a much more serious story in the second half of the movie, as vicious enemy agents stealing an important device attempt to hijack the aircraft to make their getaway. Reasonably entertaining but undistinguished.

  Mildly recommended. Otto judiciously thinks this movie is OK, but not great.

Movie 162 for 2021.
