1st watch positive /2009 positive ( dir billy wilder ) represent spectacular rendering of lindbergh famous flight by james stewart a lindbergh and director billy wilder . there isn not really a whole lot of background build into this story but that ok because wilder make the event really remarkable a it come directly from lindbergh perspective since he use his book a the basis of the movie . this early movie about fly have to be one of the best about the act itself as well . stewart talk and think to himself during the flight give you so much insight into what lindbergh go thru in this 33 hour solo flight across the atlantic . and he do the whole flight without sleep the night before which be amaze . there be a little backstory about how he purchase the plane and get the financing and and some flashback about his life during the flight but the movie be mostly about the flight . the story be also beautifully make and photograph and be a joy to watch despite it age . i appreciate the fact that they do not throw in a lot of fluff and just let the story tell itself . well do throughout . this be a classic movie that should be view by all .
