Based on a novel by the late 20s and in collaboration with Ben Hecht in the script amen of professional advice E May. Romm , the film part of an interesting premise and presents some ideas routinely present in the work of director such as guilt and / or repression, but despite this and even managed to deploy a significant visual style supported photography George Barnes and crowned by the famous and legendary dream sequence designed by Salvador Dalí (with a disturbing and weird texture), You can be considered a film lower in the whole work of virtuoso director.Su and aging is evident not only in a somewhat naive approach to the treatment of psychoanalysis (may be the first film in clearly do) with an excess of dialogue unusual Hitchcock since this is appreciation of visual and audio resources used routinely, but for some details for the modern viewer is conceivable (see Gregory Peck and Ingrid Bergman skiing with fancy clothes are amazing, the famed plane subjective final gun unlikely to turning angle for the wrist of the most renowned contortionist is also unlikely although admittedly the brilliant discovery of the fragment in color).

entertaining movie, much more than an adventure story, in which Hawks succeeds in translating their concerns, as always with a touch of humor, and manages to capture the definitions of the ideas of loyalty and friendship (especially in the relationship between Carter and Kidd , so often displayed in his films) in addition to including a good story of redemption, star starring Richard Barthelmess silent in what was his re-appearance after a hiatus of three años.No forget aviation scenes truly remarkable for the time taken in an imposing mountain landscape plays a critical role in the film trama.Precisamente was rewarded with a nomination in the first official edition of the Oscar that reward these spectacular special effects scenes that demonstrate the capacity for innovation and anticipating Hawks, in this respect include the discovery of the coin tricks would be used by Bob Kane to define Dos Caras / Harvey Dent in the Batman comic (reason recovered by Christopher Nolan in adapting to the character held in 2008, The Dark Knight ).
Only Angels Have Wings won commercial success but spends more or less unnoticed by the magnitude of the releases that occurred the year of its release (the mythical 1939) and is an interesting product that serves as a pretext to see the work of one of the greatest directors yesterday , today and probably forever.
