Summary: A Personal Favorite
Comment: This is a personal favorite. The author of the book, Nevil Shute, was an aircraft engineer and worked on the Airship R100. He also worked with the famous inventor Barnes Wallis. These facts give the film some credibility in regards to metallergy. Reading the book might give insight into the accuracy the film-maker put into the scientific statements Stewart's character spoke.
Regardless of the details it is still a good picture.

Summary: Stereotypical Stewart?
Comment: One of those "hidden gem" films that slips by the viewer occasionally,only to be unearthed at a later date.If there is such a thing as a stereotypical James Stewart, this film fills the bill. Stewart plays an eccentric,genius/idiot who bumbles along daily, trying to convince the world that he's scientifically correct and that doom awaits all those flying over 1440 net hours in a Reindeer airplane. Superb body language compliments the usual Stewart stutter.A splendid supporting cast augments the film"s reality. Once you've seen the film, you're apt to be drawn back to it time and again. Enjoy!

Summary: An overlooked rare gem from James Stewart!
Comment: When you think of Jimmy Stewart, you think of so many of his fine perfomances. Yet his portrayal of rock steady George Bailey in "It's A Wonderful Life" always seems to pop out front. As this movie was filmed some four years later, Mr. Stewart looks physically the same but what a fantastic transformation to a tottering "absent minded" scientist bent on proving his theory of metal fatigue of an airplane's tail section. His portral of Theodore Honey is beyond brilliant and quite a departure of his usual "any man" roles.
This American movie with a "British" feel is most deserving of a remastered DVD release.
