Review of Only Angels Have Wings (1939) by Louise D — 22 Jul 2016
Jean Archer and Rita Hayworth make gutsy and fleshed-out heroines; but this is no boring love triangle. Rather it's a study of different modes of masculinity, male relationships, and mortality. The mores stand up surprisingly well.
Brilliantly directed by Howard Hawks, both in the characterisation and the thrilling aerial sequences.
