Dawn Patrol The (1938)
Dawn Patrol The (1938)
A thrilling remake of the 1930 Howard Hawks’s film about World War I flying aces and the leaders who must send these men on dangerous missions. This one features a terrific cast including Errol Flynn Basil Rathbone David Niven Donald Crisp and Barry Fitzgerald (among others). Director Edmund Goulding used some footage from the original movie. Similar to the (later) Clark Gable film Command Decision (1948). This one was scripted by Seton I. Miller (The Criminal Code (1931)) and Dan Totheroh from John Monk Saunders’s Original Story (for which he’d won the Academy Award – e.g. for The Dawn Patrol (1930)).
