Trama

- QuizMarlene Dietrich chose her wardrobe from the newest Christian Dior collection and charged it to the studio. She decided that the fur stole they had wasn't ample enough for her character so she threw on a mink cape and used the stole as a collar piece to get the luxurious look she wanted.
- BlooperAt Gander Airport in Newfoundland, the pilot refuses to allow Honey back on the plane to continue to Montreal, whilst Miss Corder tells him they'll see him in Montreal, but since Honey was on his way to Labrador, which was part of Newfoundland, to investigate the previous Reindeer crash, he would have been leaving the plane at Gander and not going on to Montreal in the first place.
- Citazioni
Elspeth Honey: it's very hard being a scientist. One has to think a great deal. The world would have made scarcely any progress at all if it hadn't been for scientists.
Dennis Scott: I see. The scientists do the thinking for the world, and the rest of us just live in it, is that it?
Elspeth Honey: Yes.

But he is also single minded in his pursuit of his knowledge and his craft. He gathers his data, forms his postulate and relentlessly pursues his goal regardless of the establishments thinking on the matter. When he realizes that he or people that he has met and starts to care for may be injured or killed if does not act on his theory, he has the moral fortitude to act to save their lives and prevent tragedy. Unorthodox, yes. Odds against him? Yes. Do you admire him? YES!!! Dr. Honey versus British Government and British Airways is prophetic. (e.g. The British Comet disasters of the early 50's happened after this film was made) (Also think about the engineers at Thiokol battling NASA over the Challenger launch) James Stewart, a pilot himself, shows us that this courage of facts versus opinion and profit is the courage that should be encouraged and rewarded.
35+ years later, I am an engineer and I owe a great deal of it to this film.
