Only Angels Have Wings (1939 - DVD Released 1999)

Plot: High in the treacherous, fog-shrouded peaks of the South American Andes, a tight-knit team of daredevil aviators risks everything to deliver airmail through lethal mountain passes. At the center of the operation is Geoff Carter, a stoic, cynical flight boss who routinely pushes his pilots and primitive planes to their absolute limits. When an American showgirl becomes stranded at their remote port, she finds herself drawn to the dangerous romance of their lifestyle. The base's fragile emotional ecosystem is pushed to a boiling point by the arrival of a disgraced pilot looking for redemption—accompanied by his beautiful new wife, who happens to be Geoff's old flame. Amid brewing storms, fiery crashes, and deep personal rivalries, every flight becomes a desperate dance with death.
