...quotable line ever attributed to Earhart and then regurgitated it into a script. The results may be mostly accurate (both East to the Dawn, Susan Butler's 1997 biography, and Mary S. Lovell's earlier The Sound of Wings are credited as the basis for the screenplay), but they veer between the stilted and the cheesy...

But Falco is outstanding as a living reminder that you meet angels only in the next life. It takes a flawed, sloppy human to keep you in this...
