Cary Grant is Geoff Carter, no-nonsense chief of an air freight service on a treacherous Andean route, and perky Bonnie (Jean Arthur) and vampish Judy (Rita Hayworth) are the women vying to be his permanent co-pilot. With a choice like that to be made, is it any wonder that Geoff resorts to flipping a coin in order to decide his destiny? Soaring Howard Hawks adventure, noted for Hayworth's breakout performance and some thrilling flying sequences, co-stars Thomas Mitchell, Richard Barthelmess. 121 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English.
