A dashing captain, a foreign prince, and seaplanes — 1938 French cinema said 'yes, this needs explosions.'
An officer saves the life of a foreign prince who is in France to buy seaplanes, while pursued by his enemies.
Practical Effects
Real seaplanes in flight — no CGI, just actual 1930s aviation risking actual pilots.
Costume
Mireille Balin's wardrobe alone justifies the restoration print.
