” But it’s got to be tried, until it’s accomplished! Don’t you understand that ? “
The word impossible has led many to select a particular view concerning any incredible task. In 1927, it was believed no man could fly the breath of the Atlantic Ocean. Many had tried but failed and some even gave their lives to the effort. Nevertheless, it had to be done as every challenge needs to be met with equal determination. Such then is the heart of this movie called “The Spirit of St. Louis.” The actor chosen for this historic film is none other than America’s own James Stewart who convincingly plays Charles Lindbergh. Although there are many facets of Lindbergh’s life, the segment featured here is his efforts to be the First Man to fly across the Atlantic. The story is an interesting one and for Stewards’ fans compelling to say the least. Seeking enough funds to build a special aircraft, to the fateful decision to began the journey on a gloomy day in May 1927, ‘Luck Lindy’ as he was christened, endured enormous risks, which are featured in this superb film. Other notables which helped make this film believable are Murray Hamilton who plays Bud Gurney, Bartlett Robinson as Ben Mahoney, Arthur Space and Charles Watts as O.W. Schultz. The sum total of this now famous movie is that despite poor endorsement on its debut, it has since become a Classic in it’s own right. Well done! ****

The Good and Bad Of This “Spirit”
This is as close to a one-man show as you’re ever going to see on film as Jimmy Stewart dominates the picture while all others just have bit roles.

I found it interesting because I find Charles Lindberg’s feat amazing and worth watching. I also enjoyed the widescreen picture. I’m surprised it’s not available on DVD. The most amazing part of Lindberg’s feat, from what I discovered watching the movie, was that he went 30 hours without sleep before he even took off! To stay awake for the entire trip to Paris after that was incredible.

To keep the viewers’ interest, the film flashes back a number of times to Lindberg’s earlier days and most of that is pretty interesting. Yes, there are some lulls in here and the movie could have been shortened from its 138 minutes but Stewart does a nice job of entertaining us, as he usually did.

I do have one question, one complaint and one suggestion. My question is, “Why is there no mention of his wife, Anne Morrow?” Odd, they totally left her out of this. She was famous in her own right.

My complaint is the emphasis – it’s brought up twice in case you missed it the first time – on Lindberg not believing in prayer, only the things he could see. Pagan Hollywood just has to get their agenda in, and much of it began in the 1950s when moral restrictions began to slowly ease. This is just one more example.

They also left out what happened right after the flight, thus making the film more of a story about the voyage than of Lindberg’s aviation career. Too bad, because, as many of you might know, his son’s kidnapping is one of the biggest stories of that era. My suggestion then is that a full biography, with the emphasis on this flight across the Atlantic, might have been a better way to go. I think you would see that with a re-make, along with a faster- moving film.
