The Aviator (1929 film)

The Aviator is a 1929 American PreCode Vitaphone comedy film produced and released by Warner Bros. Directed by Roy Del Ruth, the film was based on the play of the same name by James Montgomery and starred Edward Everett Horton and Patsy Ruth Miller. The Aviator is similar to the silent comedy The Hottentot 1922, where a hapless individual has to pretend to be a famous steeplehorse jockey.The Aviator today is considered a lost film.

The film was remade in 1930 as Going Wild, starring Joe E. Brown. A foreign language version in French was made in 1931 and was entitled Laviateur. In 1938, eight years after Going Wild, Warner Bros. remade this movie again as a musical titled Going Places, starring Dick Powell impersonating a famous horseman, with Ronald Reagan appearing in an early role.No film elements of The Aviator are known to survive. The soundtrack, which was recorded on Vitaphone disks, may survive in private hands. ........
