Who will be flying the plane at dawn?
I saw this movie for the first time.. I thought it was a wonderful soap opera. Earl Flynn, was wonderful as always. I really do not know much about Kay Frances films..But.. thought she also gave a wonderful performance.
Funfact:
Another Dawn, is based on a Somerset Maugham storyline (The Ambassador's wife) and that it uses the British Empire as an exotic backdrop for the story.
