Vol de nuit (1933)
L’histoire se déroule au moment où l’Aéropostale met en place les vols de nuit en Amérique latine. John Barrymore incarne le personnage de Rivière, responsable intransigeant du réseau aéropostal. Clark Gable joue le pilote Fabien qui affronte la mort chaque fois qu’il achemine le courrier et Helen Hayes son épouse. Le pilote est marié depuis six semaines. Mais chaque seconde l’éloigne un peu plus de son épouse, de sa voix, de son sourire. Aux commandes de son avion, Fabien apporte le courrier de Patagonie à Buenos Aires. Une tornade sévit sur la Cordillère des Andes lorsque le contact radio est rompu….
