Review of Tail Spin

Tail Spin (1939)
5/10
Tail Spin Spins Out of Control **
2 December 2012
Warning: Spoilers
During a dramatic scene with Constance Bennett's lover, Alice Faye bursts into song.

This film about female aviators is all too familiar with their disagreements, competition for the air and men, and all that brought to the screen again.

Joan Davis brings her usual comic relief to the picture.

The story is saddened by the misfortune encountered by the flying couple who couldn't go on with each other. When she joins him in death, we hear the comment that it was such a beautiful thing. What were they advocating-suicide?

Constance Bennett is that high society dame who takes to flying to please her boyfriend. She comes into competition with Alice Faye and is deeply affected by the loss of our flying couple.

Don't take to the air with this film.
