shareThanks! The one movie I think people may not be familiar with is The Spirit of St. Louis (1957). It was criticized at the time for casting a 47-year-old Jimmy Stewart to portray a 25-year-old Charles Lindbergh. All these years later, I don't think it matters much. I think it is a wonderful film.
shareI saw it start to finish. I looked on its MovieChat page to see if I commented but didn’t see anything. I was on a Jimmy Stewart kick at the time and trying to see all his movies. I don’t remember too much about it except the flying scenes were well done and I recall some special effects with a fly in the cockpit
