Only Angels Have Wings (1939), directed by Howard Hawks, is a classic drama starring Cary Grant, Jean Arthur, and Rita Hayworth. The story follows cabaret singer Bonnie Lee (Jean Arthur) as she arrives in Barranca, where she meets a group of American pilots who take on the dangerous job of flying cargo planes over the Andes. Bonnie becomes enamored with pilot Geoff (Cary Grant), but Geoff must decide whether to commit to his new love or continue pursuing his passion for flying. The film explores themes of love, risk, and sacrifice in a perilous world of aviation.
