William Faulkner's novel "Pylon" was the basis for this glossy and atmospheric Douglas Sirk drama. In the 1930s, once-great World War I pilot Roger Shumann (Robert Stack) performs as a daredevil barnstorming pilot at aerial stunt shows while his wife, LaVerne (Dorothy Malone), works as a parachutist. When newspaper reporter Burke Devlin (Rock Hudson) arrives to do a story on the Shumanns' act, he quickly falls in love with the beautiful-and neglected-LaVerne. With Jack Carson, Robert Middleton. 91 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English; Subtitles: English; audio commentary; theatrical trailer.
