Opening credits: Here's the story of a girl from Yorkshire; born to be one of millions, she became one in a million. This career - rather like a rocket out of a match-box - was her own. She dreamed it; planned it; lived it; until all that happened to her shouted from...

HEADLINES !.

Patzer
In some of the early flying scenes (India), the film has been transposed as the registration letters on the side of the aircraft are mirror images of what they should be.

Zitate
Miss Bland: How can you expect to succeed in anything if you flout convention?

Crazy Credits
"And to all the Amy Johnsons of today, who have fought and won the battle of the straw hat - who have driven through centuries of convention - who have abandoned the slogan 'safety first' in their fight for freedom from fear - from want - from persecution - we dedicate this film."

wings and the woman

Thoroughly conventional biography of a rather unconventional woman. Makes for good irony, that, but a rather dull, flat film. The ennui is especially pronounced in the first half hour which is basically a washing machine cycle of Girl Breaks Record, Girl Gets Lionized, Men Pontificate Upon Girl's Success, Girl Breaks Record...Things get a bit more lively when Robert Newton's self destructive alkie (a Newton specialty, taken from his real life travails) shares the cockpit with her (no pun intemded) but at no point does anything, either in the air or on land, rise to the level of even minimally compelling. Give it a generous C plus for its refreshing for 1942 anti sexist message and for Anna Neagle, a beautiful, intelligent actress who almost breaks through the layers of plaster saintliness encrusting her character.

PS...Lousy title. Sounds like a Buffalo area eatery owned by Kathy Hochul. Brit title ("They Flew Alone") woulda been better.
