(1932) Hans Alber, Sybille Schmitz, Peter Lorre, Paul Hartman. Great sci-fi about a giant floating platform built in the mid-Atlantic as a refueling stopover for trans-Atlantic flights. Unfortunately there are plans afoot to stop this daring project. Albers is the great flier in the center of it all, who falls for the beautiful daughter of the man who built the platform. Sabotage and intrigue soon come into play with all aboard facing impending destruction. Lorre has a great role as a quirky photographer. Fine special effects for the time. From 35mm.
