"Skyway" (1933), directed by Lewis D. Collins, cocky young pilot Ray Walker is convinced by his girlfriend Kathryn Crawford to abandon his risky flying career for a stable job at her father's bank. Despite his initial reluctance, he starts working at the bank where her father, Arthur Vinton, is the president. However, the transition from the thrilling life of a pilot to the mundane routine of banking proves challenging. The film explores themes of adventure versus security, personal growth, and the influence of loved ones on life choices, set against the backdrop of the early aviation era.
I have included the original film at the end of the colourised version, should you not like the colourisation or are interested in viewing the original black and white version that I worked from. Skip to 01:10:07 to view the original should you wish to.
I downloaded the film from Wikipedia. I used AI facial enhancement and sharpening, decreased the saturation and colourised it using AVCLabs and RTX4090 with a Ryzen9 CPU and 64GB RAM. I then stitched it all together using iMovie.
