Legion of Lost Flyers Audience Reviews

Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
LouHomey From my favorite movies..
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
gordonl56 Legion of Lost Flyers This is a low budget aviation programmer from Universal pictures. A group of flyers battle the elements and each other while flying for a second rate airways in Alaska.Richard Arlen is the new pilot in town. He came to Alaska because he could not get work in the lower 48. He has been blamed for a crash where 4 men where killed. When the aircraft had engine problems he jumped by parachute leaving the 4 men behind.Andy Devine plays the airline mechanic. He knows Arlen from before and does not believe the story. The other pilots are played by, William Lundigan, Guinn Williams and Leon Ames.It turns out that Arlen is innocent of causing the men's deaths. It was really Lundigan who had taken the flight that night. But Arlen needs proof. Needless to say the swine Lundigan has no intention of admitting anything. This results in several fist fights with Arlen coming out on top.Lundigan decides he has had enough and takes off in a plane loaded with gold from a local mine. He ends up crashing in the wilderness. The only one willing to fly a rescue is of course, Arlen.Arlen flies into the remote crash site and picks up Lundigan. On take off the aircraft suffers some heavy damage. It slowly starts to fall to pieces the closer they get to the home field. Lundigan starts to panic and Arlen has him confess over the radio about his involvement in the men's death.Arlen and Lundigan make it to the airfield just in time to crash as the plane finally folds up.There is of course the love interest, Anna Nagel, as well as some comic relief supplied by Jack Carson as a radio newsman.
