I've been waiting 50 years to see this film why is it so many Universal films from this era are never shown anywhere

[@bethparker1500]

If this movie involves the Japanese in any way, it was edited. Like many other movies. 3 or 4 years later, the government was teaching us to be friends with the axis powers.

[@airman9820]

It has to do with who bought the film rights to each studios films.

[@leelarson107]

@@airman9820 Very good observation. Money speaks.

[@1949LA-ARCH]

Yep, start the full movie at 27:40 minutes.

Start at 27:40...

[@kathleenmoore9125]

Good movie 🎬, only trouble is halfway through this movie 🎬 it starts all over again, but it does finish to the end, so I suggest that you you find where it starts the second time!

[@BETTERWORLDSGT]

The Movie is actually 54 minutes long!

INFO: Pan American Airlines actually initially pioneered trans Pacific air travel in its Clipper flying boats. Pan Am built complete trans Pacific infrastructure from scratch, including Ports, Harbors, Aircraft Service & Maintenence Facility & staff, radio communications ground stations (2-way voice, & Navigation radio broadcast stations, Weather stations, full service Hotels, refueling facilities, everything, self-sufficient. And so much more . . . The whole international Air Travel Industry owes Pan Am pioneers a great debt that cannot possibly be re-paid.

And the Dutch KLM did same from Indies back over India to Europe. Often flew both Pan Am 1 and 2 and KLM in SW and SE Asia and to/ from Europe. So sad to see Pan Am die off. Also Eastern and TWA all great airlines killed by greed.

[@stainless0521]

movie actually begins at 28:00 Take my word for this.. Movie starts and then starts again at 28:00

[@allandavis8201]

Thank you.

[@goldgeologist5320]

There are some great one liners in this movie. I laughed!

[@richardwoolley7854]

"That's mighty white of you!"

[@karlschulte9231]

Made a month or so before Pearl Harbor. A last look at the American adventurer in Asia movie

[@teadrinker839]

So, I perceive this is a double feature for people who only want to see one movie and don't have the time for two anyway! Nice film if you start in the middle.... again.

[@FishFeelPain]

At an hour it's more of a show than a movie but still good--TY

[@simonf8902]

Plane taking off is a single tail plane Martin. Plane in flight is triple tail plane Boeing 317. ❤

[@b1i2l336]

What the...? 27 minutes in the movie starts all over again!!! PLEASE FIX IT!!!

[@pmullins1495]

Yeah, that's so frustrating.

[@carolynlewis9019]

This is a Saturday mattina, to bring you back to the theater next weekend. Good movie, thanks for the upload.

[@deerhoda7574]

Good! Big fan of Turhan Bey.

[@leelarson107]

Nice little Turkish boy. *Never did like him.

[@videomaniac108]

I live in the San Francisco bay area(Berkeley) and we don't refer to San Francisco as 'Frisco'.

[@gloriaalee540]

As CA native and a San Franciscan by birth, WE certainly don’t refer to The City by the Bay, as Frisco‼️

[@thatguyinelnorte]

Dang thing stopped early and started over aroud 27:54...

[@90FF1]

Good one. Thanks

And 5 years later, that "special relationship" between GB and India came to a not so happy ending. That's how fast it can go with "special relationships". The British today count a lot on their "special relationship" with the USA. The French can tell them fascinating aspects about the USA, for example about their eagerness to provide the Aussies with nuclear subs. Which make more sense than noisy diesel subs for sure, but tell that to the folks in France who were promised years of work in a region where there aren't that much job opportunities. Fun fact: today, that proud brand of Jaguar is in the hands of India. How marvellous, old chap....

[@pmullins1495]

What's your main point, sir ?? That politics, corporate business and pillaging of nations are cut-throat dirty-tricks business, perhaps ?? Yes, even Crimes Against Humanity in so great many cases.

[@johncrawford6992]

This was a fun little movie took you around in a circle

[@michaelregan3914]

All in all, a very pleasant movie!

[@pmullins1495]

Co-Pilot's Position Report over Cleg Island(?) was totally bogus & inadequate.

[@karlschulte9231]

Not for the time. And would likely have been in CW/ morse. Radio ops needed 2nd class commercial telegraph license w/ aircraft endorsement. True until around 1960.

[@MrJTPEPPER]

He wasn't making a real report he was just talking to the pilot.

[@___michael___7165]

Cute. Loved it.

[@pisstinpete4700]

I thought it was about an indian hairdresser

[@jadakowers590]

Fun film!

[@simonf8902]

A cast of famous…. Nobodies.

[@tomalexander4327]

Is that Maria Montez?

[@leelarson107]

Film starts over again at about the 28-minute mark. Thanks anyway. I'll watch Charlie Chan instead.

[@allandavis8201]

Yes I know it is fictional, and might even be trying to be humorous to some extent, but, if the jilted bride was engaged to our intrepid roving reporter she would have known that his job was not 9-5 and that one minute he could be finding out the latest stock market price in NY and the next on a slow boat to China, so why is she going bananas 🍌 at him? Or are we supposed to believe that she believed that she could change his belief in the power of the press and his part in it.

[@simonf8902]

B minus movie.
