“Planes, Motors, Schedules”: Night Flight and the Modernity of John Barrymore
Keyword(s):
“All you care about is planes, motors, schedules,” cries Helen Hayes in the aviation melodrama Night Flight (1933), condemning John Barrymore’s airline director for the dispassion he shows towards his pilots. Through a mise-en-scène analysis of the director’s office, in conjunction with an analysis of Barrymore’s work, this essay looks at the gendering of an industrial and managerial modernity articulated by Barrymore’s performance and masculine characterization.
