Review of Flying Devils

Flying Devils (1933)
Eric Linden Is Good
3 July 2007
Odd little B film about barnstormers and their rivalries.

Ralph Bellamy is boss of a two-bit barnstorming act that plays the midwest. He has his wife (Arline Judge) as an attraction and a partner/rival (Bruce Cabot). The loop the loop and swoop the ground and Arline eventually jumps out with a parachute. But then Cabot's kid brother (Eric Linden) shows up and the fireworks start.

Linden is immediately smitten with Judge, who is tired of bossy Bellamy. Bellamy and Cabot fight all the time but the act takes off when they devise a double jump for Judge and Linden. Although they hit the bigtime, Judge and Linden cheat on Bellamy and everyone is on a collision course.

Cliff Edwards co-stars as a boozy sidekick. The guys are all pretty good, but Judge can't act at all.
