On May 21, 1927, the world changed. "Lucky Lindy" landed outside Paris. And people who previously talked about the limitations of air travel suddenly dreamed of its limitless possibilities. The Spirit of St. Louis is six-time Academy Award? winner* Billy Wilder's recreation of the struggles and success of Charles A. Lindbergh, the pioneering flyboy who, like test pilots and astronauts to follow later, had the "right stuff" of aviation heroism. Lindbergh fan James Stewart, himself a pilot, sought the role ? and was initially turned down. But his persistence paid off, as Stewart added Lindy to his gallery of indelible portrayals of American heroes. He and Wilder together manned the cockpit of a stirring epic entertainment. Director: Billy Wilder Starring: James Stewart, Patricia Smith, Murray Hamilton

Summary: Spirit of St. Louis DVD
Comment: I loved this movie ever since I had it on Laser Disc back in the Old Days.' A great popcorn flick, especially if you are a Jimmy Stewart fan. The DVD is pretty cut and dry. No extra-special features outside what you would expect with a regular DVD. The video transfer is pretty good and sound, as well.

Summary: Epic Flight
Comment: If you are a James Stewart fan or have an interest in Charles Lindbergh's trans-Atlantic journey, this is a must see. Billy Wilder and the others involved in this 1957 production took an inherently monotonous story (over thirty three hours flying solo in a light plane) and made it into an exciting film. Wilder broke up the monotony with flashbacks about Lindbergh's life in aviation. Some of these flashbacks are a bit tedious.
Wilder apparently remained faithful to Lindbergh's own account of the journey. (I hope to read this book someday.) The film built enough suspense to have me cheering Stewart on at the end. I felt overwhelmed when the plane touched down in Paris.

Summary: The Spirit of ST Louis
Comment: Faithfull story of the book written by C.A. Lindbergh. Some jokes have been added that were not in the book, but without spoiling the story.
Customer Rating:

Comment: James Stewart is one of my favorite actors of all time and this movie is one of his best. It goes into my top ten favorite films of all time
