Forced Landing

Not a bad little cast was assembled for this mid 30s Republic aviation programmer, but the far fetched plot setup of how these motley characters, stranded after their plane is forced to land, had previously been involved with each other, fails to sustain interest even through a short, barely over an hour, running time. But fans of old films will enjoy seeing: lovely silent star Esther Ralston as a cabaret singer, Sidney Blackmer as a gang leader, Toby Wing as a young fiancee, Eddie Nugent as the pilot, Barbara Pepper as the stewardess, Willard Robertson as the singer's lover and a number of others in smaller roles.
