Yes! I saw this one years ago and loved it - Christopher Reeve as the mail pilot. I remember talking about this one with all my pilot buddies back when it was new. I was reminded of it when the Hughes 'Aviator' came out and wondered why they would pick that as a title too.
Well chosen, Fifty-Nine Lark!
P.S. I'm reminded too of that Sally Struthers and Ed Asner thing, "Hey! I'm alive!" about a plane wreck in the backwoods of Alaska.

It lived up to the name of the festival! It was possibly (what am I talking about? I was) the WORST film I have ever seen. Made in the 50s, later in the 60s someone spliced in extra scenes that had nothing to do with the plot, which was minimal, I admit. Mainly the same two guys running past a doorway with spaceguns. Oh, and a brain on a plate with electrodes in it....

I still remember learning that in the 50's some school districts issued the children military style steel dogtags with the reassurances that these would help the parents identify their bodies even if nearly vaporized.
Sounds like it should be pretty reassuring to a child doesn't it? :eusa_doh:
What a relief to know!
