Tense, exciting and well written.

In many ways, "Flight from Glory" is reminiscent of films like "The Wages of Fear" and "Only Angels Have Wings", and it is one of RKO's better films of the 1930s.

The story is set in some god forsaken airport in the middle of no where in South America. A company hires washed out pilots with promises of money and a second chance, but the troll in charge of the operation provides planes which are unsafe, awful working conditions AND they nickel and dime the pilots so badly that they're left with practically nothing.

Into this awful place arrive a disgraced pilot and his new bride (Van Heflin and Whitney Bourne) and they are shocked at the outfit. They are also shocked to hear from the boss (Onslow Stevens) that they owe the company money...so they cannot leave until it's been worked off...something you suspect with never happen. What is to become of this nice couple...as well as the other pilots?

This is a wonderfully written film. I also appreciated the fine ensemble cast which includes Chester Morris (a highly underappreciated actor). All in all, a really fine production.... far better than I'd anticipated...especially since the film has somehow been allowed to slip into the public domain.
