Stinking Pause – the movie review podcast with Scott, and special guest this week, Steven from the Reel Britannia podcast
This week’s movie – Only Angels Have Wings from 1939 – directed by Howard Hawks and starring Cary Grant, Jean Arthur, Rita Hayworth and Thomas Mitchell.
“I'm hard to get, Geoff. All you have to do is ask me.”
Rough and tough Geoff Carter (Cary Grant) runs a tiny airline that cannot afford to miss any flights, despite the dangers along many of the routes. When Bonnie Lee (Jean Arthur), a performer who is falling for him, sees that Geoff is preparing to fly in violent weather conditions, she takes measures to make him stay. She's successful in her attempt, and two of his employees are forced to make the flight for him -- but Bonnie may have been correct about the potential peril of that flight.
“You remember how it really was? You and me and booze - a threesome. You and I were a couple of drunks on the sea of booze, and the boat sank. I got hold of something that kept me from going under, and I'm not going to let go of it. Not for you. Not for anyone. If you want to grab on, grab on. But there's just room for you and me - no threesome.”
