Summary: Believe Me This Angel Has Wings!
Comment: Cary Grant, Jean Arthur, Rita Hayworth and such go town to South America where airplane pilots working for the banana industry fly in some pretty dangerous places. A lot of drama and excitement. Who will Cary end up with? Is Jean pregnant - Hollywood style? What is wrong with Rita's new husband? Why doesn't anybody like him, no matter what he does and what did he do to make them hate him? Do you really forget people who died 20 minutes ago? I loved this movie. It was very fun and exciting!

Summary: VERY ENTERTAINING & LIVELY GRANT FILM!
Comment: One of the best Grant films I've seen so far. This film is included on a Cary Grant box set I purchased along with four other top Grant films. This one is my second favorite of the lot. I still have one more to go. The entire cast is very good in this lively romance adventure. It's a little melodramatic in spots, but weren't they all back then? The DVD transfer is very good on the box set and there are a few extras.

Summary: Never got off the ground
Comment: I loved The Talk of the Town with Cary Grant and Jean Arthur and was hoping this would be as good. Where that had a solid script that supported all the slapdash wonderfully silly humor of that era....this had a supposed adventure story set in some would-be exotic locale. Nothing was believable.
We see the set-up---supposedly heartless heroic type (Grant) who won't commit to any love but that of flying meets spunky, independent entertainer (Arthur). She fancies herself something of an adventurer, too, but meets her match with the cool, glossy Grant who has shut his heart down long ago. Somehow Grant is too polished and gorgeous to be convincing in the role. He looks perfect even when shot in the shoulder. It has been said that Jean Arthur felt threatened by the younger Rita Hayworth, and she should have been. She looks positively dowdy throughout...maybe it's the hairdo? Even when she sheds the tailored suit for a chenille robe, she still looks like Bonnie Lee from Brooklyn. It's hard to believe that, after all his years of avoiding women that he would succomb to her. All of the genuine chemistry that existed between the two of them in Talk of the Town just wasn't present here at all.. too bad.
People who love flying might get a lot more out of the film than I did.

Summary: Only Angels Have Wings
Comment: Elements of drama and romance co-mingle with the serious business of men being men in this involving, exciting adventure story. Grant stretches his screen persona effortlessly as a tough guy with little humor and no polish, and Arthur makes a spunky love interest. Hayworth looks particularly stunning in a pivotal early role, and Thomas Mitchell also shines as Kid Dabb, a loyal older pilot who's losing his bearings. This heroic outing soars.

Summary: Classic Cary
Comment: Cary Grant and Jean Arthur at their best. Great supporting cast sometimes overwhelm the "stars" but these two manage to steal the show. It don't get no better than this!! Look for very young Rita Hayworth in minor role.
