the film itself never reaches the heights of greatness that the story deserves to have. it’s not a terrible film at all. in fact i always thought it has some really good scenes sprinkled throughout it. the problem is that they’re just sprinkled and they become interspersed with some other very hackneyed, uninspired ones .

with their $ 15, 000, lindbergh hired ryan aeronautical company in san diego to build a plane 27 feet 8 inches in length and 9 feet 10 inches high. the skeleton of the wings, which spanned 46 feet, was made of spruce and piano wire, and steel tubes formed the fuselage; the epidermis was cotton fabric treated with silver - gray lacquer known as acetate “dope. ” the aluminum cowling that covered the nine - cylinder wright j - 5c engine bore a jewel - like “engine - turned” finish and the name of the plane— spirit of st. louis .
when the film stays focused on lindbergh’s flight – the preparation of it, the buildup, the actual flight itself – it’s good. it amps up some tension, and along with stewart’s effective performance is when the movie works .

after the opening credits, the following written prologue appears :
in 1927 a young man alone in a single engine airplane flew non - stop from roosevelt field in new york across the entire north atlantic to le bourget field in paris, a distance of three thousand six hundred and ten miles. in this triumph of mind, body and spirit, charles a. lindbergh influenced the lives of everyone on earth - for in the 33 hours and 30 minutes of his flight the air age became a reality. this is the story of that flight .
several flashback sequences are interspersed throughout the film. most of the flashbacks are introduced by the voice - over narration of james stewart, who as
lindbergh
provides intermittent narration throughout the film. as noted in the
under the agreement, the missouri civil war museum will oversee the removal of a 32 - foot granite and bronze monument from its location in forest park, where it has stood for 103 years. the museum will pay for the monument’s removal and store it until a new location can be found. while the agreement stipulates that the monument cannot be publicly placed in the city or st. louis county, it can be redisplayed at a civil war museum, battlefield, or cemetery. though the deadline to remove the monument is june 30, the structure could come down even sooner: the st. louis post - dispatch reported that workers began deconstructing the monument shortly after the settlement was announced .

in fact, there really aren’t any notable supporting characters in the entire film! it’s quite odd considering the film runs for well over two hours. arthur space plays engineer donald hall and he’s the biggest presence other than stewart, and he’s barely given enough time to make an impression .
from its mystical beginning, this film presented to us the celebratory narrative inside people' s heads while they are committing unspeakable acts. despite its uncomfortable length, it revealed a reality of genocide in which we are all complicit. the film leaves you asking more questions than it provides answers and is an important piece of cinema .
it’s when they try to create the portrait of the man himself and go into his background via flashbacks when things falter. during the thirty - plus hour flight the film takes breaks from stewart in the cockpit and recounts some of the incidents of him being a young man. and they don’t work very well .
celebrate the historic may 20, 1927 flight of
the spirit of st. louis
with screen legend jimmy stewart (
it' s a wonderful life ,
the philadelphia story
) as aerial legend charles lindbergh. writer - director billy wilder (
some like it hot ,
double indemnity
) brings a lavish, suspense - filled recounting of lindbergh' s historic trip from new york to paris, the first non - stop solo flight across the atlantic, based on the famous pilot' s autobiography .
with recent advancements in radio, newsreels with sound, and transmission of photographs, the flight of the spirit of st. louis was the first event to be shared globally in real time. and the impossibly photogenic lindbergh was the original modern - media superstar—as recognizable in india as in indiana. overnight, his plane became the most well - known conveyance since noah’s ark. after suspense had built for a day and a half, 150, 000 people stormed the barriers at le bourget airfield. while lindbergh eluded the crowd and found safety in a hangar, the mob ripped his aircraft for relics .
the documentary - shorts jury is kelly bouma, director, actor, interdisciplinary artist, director of the contemporary dance - theater company bare bait dance, and teacher of performance and practice at university of montana in missoula; lisa marie evans, documentary filmmaker, animator, programmer of feature documentaries for the kansas international film festival, and facilitator of professional development programs with artist inc; and leigh kolb, film critic for new york magazine’s vulture website .
when lindbergh calls and waves from the spirit at the motorcyclist tooling down a dirt road, the motorcycle' s tires make a screeching tires - on - asphalt sound as it turns .
the real charles lindbergh was never allowed on the set of the film. jimmy stewart said if he showed up, all the cast would walk off. lindbergh was hated for his pre - ww2 actives with nazi germany .
said of stewart' s performance :
.... stewart, for all his professional, 48 - year - old boyishness, succeeds almost continuously in suggesting what the world sensed at the time: that lindbergh' s flight was not the mere physical adventure of a rash young' flying fool,' but rather a journey of the spirit .
in spite of the obvious age difference between stewart and the young lindbergh, it is nonetheless difficult to imagine anyone else who could carry the film single - handedly the way he does for its 135 - minute running time. stewart also succeeded in accurately recreating the technical aspects of flying throughout the film; lindbergh himself was particularly impressed by the moment when stewart taps the oil gauge while starting the engine, the sort of passing detail only an experienced pilot like stewart would know.
