Feature Review
"Emergency Landing"
(Producers Releasing Corp.)
T T ERE is an item of program fare which has moments of amusement *■ * and a spot or two of excitement, which may prove reasonably satisfying to the fans who like a touch of action and are not too critical.
The cast, with little of marquee quality to offer, is headed by Forrest Tucker, Carol Hughes, Evelyn Brent and Emmett Vogan.
It is concerned with an invention for remote radio control of planes developed by Tucker and Vogan, and brings in an attempt on the part of unnamed foreign agents to steal a new type of bomber produced by the plane company for which Tucker is test pilot. Miss Hughes, the manufacturer's daughter, has a run-in with the pilot, and when she is stranded with her aunt, Miss Brent, near the desert shack where Tucker and Vogan are working, he decides to teach her a lesson, and sets her to work for her keep as his prisoner, she having "stolen" gasoline for her car.
A number of implausibilities are glossed over, but have little effect on the film as a whole. The romantic conclusion is quite as anticipated. W illiam Beaudine directed and Jed Buell produced.
