Movie Reviews of The Spirit of St. Louis
Movie Review: Epic Flight
Summary: 4 Stars
If you are a James Stewart fan or have an interest in Charles Lindbergh's trans-Atlantic journey, this is a must see. Billy Wilder and the others involved in this 1957 production took an inherently monotonous story (over thirty three hours flying solo in a light plane) and made it into an exciting film. Wilder broke up the monotony with flashbacks about Lindbergh's life in aviation. Some of these flashbacks are a bit tedious.
Wilder apparently remained faithful to Lindbergh's own account of the journey. (I hope to read this book someday.) The film built enough suspense to have me cheering Stewart on at the end. I felt overwhelmed when the plane touched down in Paris.
Movie Review: Quietly Wonderful Work from Two Cinematic Masters
Summary: 4 Stars
Sure, Jimmy Stewart was a little old to play Charles Lindbergh, but he pulls it off and admirably so. Stewart had an undying youthfulness that allowed him to show us Lindbergh at different stages of life with believability across the board. Then there's the direction of Billy Wilder. In a word, "SUPERB". The flying sequences are great and the general atmosphere of the film has a nostalgic feel that permeates your TV screen and brings you in to the story.Movie Review: Spirit of St. Louis DVD
Summary: 4 Stars
I loved this movie ever since I had it on Laser Disc back in the Old Days.' A great popcorn flick, especially if you are a Jimmy Stewart fan. The DVD is pretty cut and dry. No extra-special features outside what you would expect with a regular DVD. The video transfer is pretty good and sound, as well.Movie Review: the spirit of St louie at last

Summary: 4 Stars
Faithfull story of the book written by C.A. Lindbergh. Some jokes have been added that were not in the book, but without spoiling the story.
