The Last Flight (1931) – John Monk Saunders Hijacks Hemingway’s Lost Generation

September 7, 2014 By Cliff Aliperti 16 Comments

The Last Flight 1931

Upon publication reviews called John Monk Saunders anything from a hack to a plagiarist when his Single Lady cashed in as an inferior version of Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises. Adapted as The Last Flight, Saunders’s story emerges as perhaps the best of any film about The Lost Generation. Directed by William Dieterle, with excellent performances from Richard Barthelmess and Helen Chandler.
