Ding! Ding! Ding!

“Only Angels Have Wings” is one of my favorite movies of all time. Or as I think of it, “Calling Barranca.”

It’s best on a rainy afternoon, or late at night.

It was a WWII-prep movie. If you squint, you can se that it’s a war movie, without the war. I think it was made to start to get across the mindset necessary for Americans to deal with WWII. A lot of Bogey movies are like that, too.

I don’t know why it takes me away, it just does. I also got to see it on a big screen once, in an old theater. Loved it!

Hayworth is nice, but Jean Arthur is the real hottie in this movie, and an excellent comedienne.
