...camera work are splendid and partly because it is a sincere effort to investigate an engrossing subject, Night Flight remains an exciting and intelligent production. Robert Montgomery, Lionel Barrymore, Myrna Loy, William Gargan, have minor roles. Good shot: Jules Fabian's plane breaking through the clouds into moonlight...
