Review of Sky Racket

A great setup with a witty screenplay and chew engaging Stars helps to turn this poverty roll action film into something a little better than usual. The typical spoiled socialite (Joan Barclay) runs out on a marriage to obvious gigolo (Duncan Renaldo), stowing away in the two-seater plane piloted by Herman Brix, AKA Bruce Bennet of "Mildred Pierce". together, they share romance and Adventure, especially when he comes across a plot to blow airplanes out of the sky with a secret death ray. It's silly, but clever, showing the two stars having fun, Barclay nearly going to jail for her various schemes. Monte Blue and Hattie McDaniel are super in supporting parts, although McDaniel only gets to appear in several scenes at the beginning as Barclay's companion.
