The Last Flight

1931 NR 1h 16m 6.9

World War I veterans roam Paris, drinking and admiring a woman they recently met.

Cary, Shep, Bill, and Francis are pilots who have only just survived the First World War. They linger in Europe in the aftermath, drinking and ostensibly having fun, but pessimistic and flip about their futures, as each feels himself somehow lost and dead inside as a result of the horrors he's experienced. They encounter beautiful, vivacious Nikki and adopt her as a sort of mascot and light around which they can hover in hopes of regaining the sense of warmth and life. Nikki does her best to reinvigorate her new friends, but despite the seeming lightheartedness of their escapades, the shadow of the war can never be dispelled.
