FLYING WITH MUSIC

Cinemavixion Review

1942's "Flying with Music" presents a whimsical, albeit somewhat dated, romantic musical adventure. Directed by George Archainbaud, the film stars Marjorie Woodworth as Ann Andrews, a young woman who embarks on a tropical vacation to the West Indies. Amidst the backdrop of vibrant Latin music and dance, Ann finds herself falling for the charming pilot, Don Terry, portrayed by William Marshall. The supporting cast, including George Givot, adds to the film's lighthearted atmosphere. While the plot might feel familiar, the film's appeal lies in its escapism and musical numbers. Despite a modest reception reflected in its IMDb rating, "Flying with Music" offers a gentle diversion, showcasing the musical talents and romantic entanglements typical of its era. It's a pleasant, if unremarkable, entry into the musical genre of the early 1940s, notable for its nominations in the Academy Awards.
