The bold aviatrix finds herself pregnant and in love with a married man, and makes a desperate decision in a world without options. Hepburn is absolutely stunning (particularly in one bug-like costume) and who, after all, could better portray a heroically independent woman in the 30s? [More]

At the time, Arzner's film was not well-received, but later, feminists and other critics reexamined the incoherent saga in terms of gender roles and singled out Hepburn's turn (her first starring role) as an aviatrix and her penchant for bizarre outfits. Full Review |

Good cast and from Hollywood's 'Golden Age,' but Arzner's typically flat direction grounds it.
