The Last Flight (1931 film)

The Last Flight is a 1931 American PreCode ensemble film, starring Richard Barthelmess, David Manners, John Mack Brown, and Helen Chandler.

The movies most lasting impact was offscreen, however shortly after the films release, Cary Grant appeared opposite Fay Wray in a Broadway version of the story, Nikki, while he was still billed as Archie Leach, and adopted his screen first name from the character he played on stage and Barthelmess had portrayed in the film version Cary Lockwood. John Mack Brown was renamed Johnny Mack Brown later the same year when his career skidded from topdrawer films like The Last Flight and The Secret Six to B westerns all of Browns scenes had been reshot by the studio in an important movie with rising star Clark Gable substituting for Brown. Helen Chandler, who also starred with David Manners in the original Dracula opposite Bela Lugosi the same year, ironically fell victim to alcoholism later in life and was badly disfigured in a fire caused by falling asleep while smoking.
