Time For A Movie, Boys And Girls

From newly-revived Monogram Picutures in 1937, we bring you "Atlantic Flight."  This movie stars Dick Merrill (who in real life, had become the first pilot to make a commercial transatlantic roundtrip flight) portrays himself as a pilot crossing the Atlantic with a medical serum that can save a friend's life.  This movie includes footage from Mr. Merrill's own stormy Atlantic crossing.  Dick is joined in the cast by Jack Lambie, Paula Stone, and Weldon Heyburn.  With Scott Dunlap in charge of production and screenplay by Scott Darling and Erna Lazarus, this motion picture was directed by William Nigh.
