Hi Gary 🍕Thanks for watching PizzaFLIX. May the Sauce be with you 🍕

It's very surprising that a 1929 film can have a sharp and clear picture as far as picture quality is concerned, and, a very clear soundtrack which is a delight to the ear.

What a nice Limo in the 1st 15min. My mom said those Zeppelins flew over the farm on occasions. Said they were fun to watch as they floated off with the engines humming. How the world has changed. Thing flies pretty straight in that thunderstorm. A well done film, all in all. Glad that it's still around to watch. Thanks for posting. Like the old movies a lot better than today's stuff. At least they could've used a Real aircraft engine sound.

Blimp and blizzard 🥶 special effects were fantastic!

My dad and I used to watch old black and white movies together when I was a kid 50 years ago. Every Saturday night at 10:30 pm on Channel 18 (UHF was relatively new I think). The movie special was called “Shock Theater”. Thanks for bringing back some nice old memories with these old movies! Dad went to heaven a few years ago.

Thank you so much ... my imagination is on fire and dreaming of being on board. ... in the 1920s the only two dirigibles ever built that were actually functioning flying aircraft carriers, the USS Macon and the USS Akron, carried inside 5 fighters, which they could readily launch and retrieve. ... One astounding story which involved one of them (can't recall which) was that on a voyage to the Panama Canal, it launched one of its fighters to land in Honduras and retrieve herbs, fruits, and the like for a sumptuous meal back in the mother ship ...

Not entirely true. The Los Angeles could launch and retrieve ONE plane, but there was no internal hangar. This was as a test to prove that it would work with Akron and Macon.

1929: Camera fixed. No Panning. No zoom. We have a fixed perspective. Very simple editing. Dialogue is most important. And the woman has a nice figure. The music in the background is quiet and appropriate. Early talkie. My father was 12 years old when this came out.

Has everyone noticed that pre- 1950's College kids look like they're in their 30's? And guys in their late 30's early 40's look to be about 60!? Also, the women in 1920's - early 1940's films have very small breasts if they're thin. Which is normal. This is prior to plastic surgery and the stigma that looks are everything. Talent and reputation was important

​@@OurladyrulesThat's only perception which is not the same as fact. Most married around their age with a difference as much as 5 years. Women liked men who looked older because older meant more experienced and capable, but this is only looks. Women married around the age of 21-22 and men around 24-25. Today people are marrying much later with 26 years of age for women and about 28 for men, people are having less kids now at days and many choosing to postpone having children until so late that it is getting really hard for some to make a family and not even IVF is helping. If you see all the actors women considered hunks back then none looks younger than 35.

The credits are reminiscent of Hal Roach’s credits style during the same period. Very cool effects! Thanks, PizzaFlix.

What a great Film! Funny Aeroplane noises? Sounds like a Sears Generator? Now the Technology for Radio and Sound was pretty well established in the 1920's. Someome could have recorded an Airplane taking off, in flight, and landing! My Dad was born in 1940. When he was a very small boy living in Colma, CA., on Mission Rd. off of the El Camino Real, in the City where there are more dead residents than living, he said that coming home from Church one day there was a Blimp/ Zeppelin crashed and flattened in the road. It scared him so bad because he thought Germany had Invaded San Francisco! My Mother's Father, my Grandpa, was a Pilot and Survived WWII flying Glider Missions over Germany Enemy Territory throughout the War. Only to be killed in 1947 as a flight instructor when his student crashed the Glider Plane into the Control Tower in Corona, CA. just a few blocks from home! My Mom was six years old. She found out about her Dad's death when her older Brother, nine years old, read about it in a local Newspaper Article!

A very early talkie.

LOST ZEPPELIN - the next tribute band name!

The airship Explorer is very closely copied from the actual Italian-built dirigible, Norge, which was used by Roald Amundsen to overfly the North Pole in 1926, and which was piloted by Italian aviator and polar explorer Umberto Nobile. The story of the crash on the ice and the dramatic rescue of some of the crew is adapted from Nobile's later North Pole expedition of 1928 piloting the airship, Italia. The ship reached the pole but crashed on pack ice in a storm on the return trip. During the international search, the great Roald Amundsen's rescue plane crashed, and the famous explorer was killed. Also, the Swedish pilot who found the survivors insisted that he fly Nobile out before any others--over Nobile's objections. Because of that, his enemies, the Italian fascists, unjustifiably painted him a coward. Despite that, Nobile was so popular, he was given a hero's welcome and massive parade back in Rome. This film came out less than a year after all that high drama to capitalize on the well-known events.

The acting was certainly different back then! But the technicalities of the medium were different too, so this represents a logical consequence of that. It makes for interesting viewing from a historical perspective.

See the Red Tent (1969). a fictionalized story about the real Nobile expedition of 1928. Find pictures of the Italia and compare the gondola with that which is in this film.

Very cool film...no pun intended

They couldn't care less.

It seems that film directors of the Soviet ,,Семеро смелых`` (Seven courageous,1936) saw this film.

Pretty good if predictable at the end. At about 1.08:30 Morse Code message reads; cammander hi and that's all there was but bad spelling of commander. The downside of knowing Morse.

I hope they play Stairway to Heaven. ;)

No good wife.

Charles Kenyon? Was that D. F. Zanuck?

I sometimes forget that this Era was known for caking on the makeup

How strange to think a beautiful animal draped from head to foot over a woman’s shoulder was considered elegant fashion back in the day.

One would think that that woman was Marilyn Monroe! Lol

They rescue one, leave another to die, and have a ticker tape parade to celebrate?

Why would they go in Winter?

One can see the limited action because of microphone placement, and because many of the early sound actors came from theatre careers, there's a bit of overacting as well. Overall, pretty good for 1929.

Throw another dog on the fire It's this. No it's that...

Not very entertaining. Most of the action is packed by the end, there were missed opportunities to build tension between the characters in the love triangle considering one of them hopped into the zeppelin in a bad mood, the dialogue was flat and non existent once in flight, there could have been a "sit on edge" moment during the storm but that was another missed opportunity that produced nothing exciting. The main actress had a truly whiny kind of voice which made it unbearable to listen to, the acting overall was pretty good but the pauses between some of the lines were obvious. I honestly expected more, what got me was the idea of being lost in a zeppelin and how they were gonna do to go back home. 😅 Sadly all that happened late in the movie and it seemed very fast paced. Other than that loved the setting, the wardrobe, the snow storm was well achieved and the addition of the dog was sweet as it softened the commander's character. Thanks for the upload. Love your channel.
