ONLY ANGELS HAVE WINGS

Original British 12 inch x 9 1/2 inch illustrated 12 page Brochure for the 1939 Howard Hawks Drama ONLY ANGELS HAVE WINGS, with a screenplay by Jules Furthman and starring Cary Grant, Jean Arthur, Thomas Mitchell, Rita Hayworth, Richard Barthelmess, Don ‘Red’ Barry, Noah Beery Jr., Miisa Sierra and Allyn Joslyn.

Only Angels Have Wings stars Jean Arthur as a traveling entertainer who gets more than she bargained for during a stopover in a South American port town. There she meets handsome and aloof daredevil pilot Cary Grant, who runs an airmail company, staring down death while flying to towns in treacherous mountain terrain. Both attracted to and repelled by his romantic sense of danger, she decides to stay on, despite his protestations. This masterful and mysterious adventure, featuring Oscar-nominated special effects, high-wire aerial photography, and Rita Hayworth in a small but breakout role, explores Hawks’s recurring themes of masculine codes and the strong-willed women who question them.

The brochure is in very good condition.
