The Eagle and the Hawk on DVD

In the tradition of All Quiet on the Western Front, the Eagle and the Hawk (1933) is a powerful anti-war drama in which Cary Grant and Fredric March play rival pilots with opposing codes of honor during World War I. The story was written by John Monk Saunders (Wings, the Dawn Patrol) and features memorable supporting roles for Jackie Oakie and Carole Lombard who would become a major star the following year with the release of Twentieth Century (1934). The New York Times stated Here is a drama told with a praiseworthy sense of realism, and the movie still packs a punch more than 75 years later.
