An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Flying Devils, the 1933 Russell Birdwell romantic love triangle flying daredevil airplane aviation stunt pilot action thriller (about a man who runs an air show, and the brother of one of his stars signs on, and he has designs on the wife of the man who runs the show, but his brother tries to talk him out of it, and at the climax of the movie, the man who runs the show intends to kill his rival during a crazy suicide stunt, and the brother nobly crashes his plane into that of the man who runs the show, killing them both, which lets his brother and the now widow live happily ever after!) starring Bruce Cabot, Arline Judge, Eric Linden, Ralph Bellamy, June Brewster, and Cliff Edwards (oddly, Edwards plays "Screwy" Edwards, who is one of the stunt pilots for the air show, only he is a known alcoholic, and I would think that would be about the last person you would want performing difficult stunts in the air!)
