Not bad at all. It's funny to see how shallow (literally) some of the sets are. It gives it a school-play-in-the-gym feel. Also, there seems to be scenes missing such as when they find out he's the doctor not the pilot. Still worth a watch though. I love these old movies. The focus was more on telling a story, rather than who directed, the stars, and the special effects.

Pretty good movie, plot weak though, good not to hear background music, and when you did it was done through a roado in the trading post. We have come a long way since l932, but a happy ending is still the best. AHL
