James Stewart plays aeronautical engineer Theodore Honey, the quintessential absent-minded professor: eccentric, forgetful, but brilliant. His studies show that the aircraft being manufactured by his employer has a subtle but deadly design flaw that manifests itself only after the aircraft has flown a certain number of hours. En route to a crash site to prove his theory, Honey discovers that he is aboard a plane rapidly approaching his predicted deadline.

Tout à fait sympathique même si le plot est pas exploité à fond. Toujours un plaisir de retrouver Marlene Dietrich.

No Highway in the Sky
James Stewart performance is this film was almost flawless. He played the part of nerdy mad genius perfectly. His character development in this film was excellent, though out the film you see glimpses of him being a “normal person” for example him trying to save the actress and pilot girl. And ultimately what changed his character was his daughter. The only thing the film wasn’t great on was the character development of Teasdale. When she left it felt sudden and out of place. But other than that it was a pretty great film. This is truly an underrated film.
