Rating:  - Before its time
1930's movies are a hobby for me. I have seen thousands. It is obvious that the overwhelming majority were made for one purpose-- to maximize profits. To do this they were "designed" to give the public what it wanted--and still wants, i.e., bigger than life movie stars, a few endlessly repeated popular themes, shamelessly uncomplicated scripts, formula directing. In the 30's, they were the ultimate mindless escape entertainment for hard times. For these reasons (and the black and white, 4:3 ... Read More
Rating:  - March + Grant = Excellent action drama
Crackerjack war/anti-war yarn starring Frederic March and Cary Grant as two flying aces in WW I who don't like each other, with events leading to a surprise turn-around for one of them. Despite their antipathy for each other, when they fly together they actually make a good team. March begins to lose his grip on things after some of the pilots are killed and especially after he shoots down the German ace Greentail, only to find out he was just a boy. He delivers a scorching anti-war diatribe after ... Read More
Rating: - MCA/Universal Classic 1933 - early look at Cary Grant!!
MCA/Universal is re-releasing the great Stars of early Hollywood Classics. It is truly great to see these stars in their early careers.
"The Eagle and The Hawk" - starring A young Fredric March & Cary Grant. (With a cameo of the fabulous Carole Lombard). This World War I film is a psychological battle of the aerial dog fighting between young men and the lasting effect on these young pilots and observers.
March & Grant are bitter enemies who respect each others professional abilities. ... Read More
Rating: - A Shining Example of Good Film
We've been watching a lot of Fredric March movies in the past several months. It amazes me how many times he appears in uniform. This is one of at least four times in WWI uniform. Anyway.
It was really interesting to see him working with Cary Grant, who plays a former labourer with an attitude. But deep down he has compassion on Fred's character, a former polo player who can't deal with all the killing and death he is witnessing. He thought the war would be a party. The movie shows his progression from ... Read More
Rating: - Another Great Fredric March Performance
Just this year I have discovered Fredric March, and what a great actor he is. He does not disappoint in "The Eagle and the Hawk" either. He plays an ace American flyer in the Royal Flying Corps, who was at first eager to go to war, but once in France and actually participating in the war, he finds that war is not the romantic glamour thing he envisioned it would be. War, he found, is actually killing people. It disturbs him greatly to realize that so many must die, and that he has a part in so many deaths. He ... Read More
