Start writin"" short stories again - that""s what I should be doin"" anyway.I""m gonna tell him just that.Connor, who considers himself a serious writer of short stories, is angered when Kidd assigns both of them to what he considers a degrading scandal sheet assignment.In contrast to the fantasy, escapist romantic dance musicals of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers that also began in the same year (Flying Down to Rio (1933)), his film was an unglamorized look at the tough realities of backstage life behind the footlights.Silent film star Richard Barthelmess (who had appeared in D.W.Griffith""sBroken Blossoms (1919)andWay Down East (1920)) returned to the screen in a comeback attempt after a three-year absence in the role of an ostracized and disgraced ace-flier (responsible in the past for causing the death of another aviator) who redeems and vindicates himself by flying on a dangerous mission.]Plot SynopsisThe opening credits (portrayed in aPlaybillfontface) are displayed before a backdrop of an adobe brick wall.
