The adventure of the historical making flight was captured, but not its spirit.
03/18/07
Stewart, who was nominated for five best actor Oscars -- his one win was for "The Philadelphia Story" (1940) -- turns in perhaps his most impressive feat.
09/17/06
Lindbergh's biggest dilemma on the flight was trying to stay awake. To a large extent, it's ours, too.
08/04/06
It's quite engrossing, with the period trappings lovingly presented.

...in the end, the long film becomes almost as tedious as the flight that inspired it.

Loved it as a kid. Might not wear well now.

A haunting recollection of one of the thrilling events of our times has been handsomely staged by Mr. Wilder, and for that you should see the film.

Top CriticBilly Wilder's movie isn't particularly daring in its telling, but as a piece of American -- and world -- history, The Spirit of St. Louis is something everyone should see.
01/01/00
Not one of Billy Wilder's best efforts -- still has some interest because of James Stewart's performance, which is very nearly a one-man show.
