 Only Angels Have Wings (1939)
A compelling character study crossed with nail-biting action, Only Angels Have Wings is fully immersed within the male-centric world of Howard Hawks.
Only Angels Have Wings is impressively directed by Hawks, never letting up in its incredible pace after the slightly cheesy beginning.
The only drawback of this intense concentration on the job in hand is that the characters are distant and clinical, too self-absorbed to be utterly enthralling.

Columbia has a winner in 'Only Angels Have Wings.' With a good name cast, including Cary Grant, Jean Arthur, Thomas Mitchell, Rita Hayworth and Richard Barthelmess, it's certain for big returns.
The crates are almost suicidal and Grant is No. 1 guy with the other tough boys because he'll take up the planes only when it's too hazardous for the others.

In Only Angels Have Wings Hawks returns to his personal genre of the airplane.

For Cary Grant, it was a step he really wasn't prepared to take, and his subsequent releases backed off from the hard, cold, unlikable he-man he plays here.
This delivery is hampered by terrible weather conditions, and the pilots hang around the cantina waiting to hear the news that the weather has cleared and that they can fly.
The great secret about Hawks is that although his feel for action was crackling, he was really more interested in the way people exchanged sidelong glances or lit each other's cigarettes--there's a lot of both in Only Angels Have Wings.

 Only Angels Have Wings (1939)
Only Angels Have Wings (1939) is a quintessential adventure-aviation film with drama, dark fatalism, suspense and romance that is stocked with true-to-life sequences, fast-paced action and top stars in skillfully-executed roles.
Only Angels Have Wings mirrored a very successful plot element of other adventure/romance pictures of the 30s (Red Dust (1932), China Seas (1935) and Torrid Zone (1940)) - the idea of an independent woman invading an all-male, small environment and community.
Although Geoff orders Joe to circle the obscured field until it is clear, to "stick to business," and to "quit worrying about that blonde," Joe slices off one wing on a tree near the runway, and then fatally crashes.

In Hawks' films, the Group is often insulated and tightly knit, but his characters are generally not displaced from their original environment, culturally or geographically, as they are in Only Angels Have Wings.
With Joe's death, it's apparent that these professionals are used to bad news, formulating a type of callousness as a coping ritual ("Who's Joe?" is the mantra Geoff and the others use to teach Bonnie how to deal with these sudden tragedies).

When a co-worker dies, the "angels" banish his name from speech and start pounding out crazy "Latin" tunes on the piano.
Hawks and his screenwriter Jules Furthman use this often joltingly unsentimental backdrop as a stage on which to perform an inquiry into the difference between men's and women's approaches to work, responsibility, death, aging, and the possibility of romance.
