About Wings in the Dark
In his dedicated pursuit of technology that will aid pilots to safely "fly blind" during adverse conditions, aerial innovator Ken Gordon is literally blinded in an accident, but this setback doesn't deter him from his goal.
Directed by James Flood, Wings in the Dark leans on a strong ensemble — Myrna Loy, Cary Grant, Roscoe Karns — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about adventure titles of 1935.
