Review of Only Angels Have Wings (1939) by Gus V — 15 Jun 2007
My students sometimes resist this one, it's an amazing film and should be on everyone's must see list. Seems cliched and dated only because everybody has copied it. OAWH has profound subtext concerning racism, sexism, and the burden of "masculinity.
" Hawks at his best, and ground breaking SFX.
