Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe film is a mix of fact and fiction. William Lancaster was a British aviator who vanished in the Sahara in 1933 whilst attempting to set an England-South Africa speed record. He was married, but had a long-term affair with an Australian woman, Jessie Miller, who was also a pilot. Miller did not go to search for Lancaster. His body was found in 1962 by French troops. His diary was sent to Miller. His plane was recovered in 1975 and acquired by the Queensland Museum in Australia. The plane, the Southern Cross Minor, had been purchased by Lancaster from Charles Kingsford Smith, a noted Australian aviator.

Featured review
One needs to remember that French (and films from other foreign countries) films are not like American films. Neither the ending, nor the writing, nor the production may be what you might expect if most of what you see are American films. We liked the film, it wasn't great, but I do not consider it a waste of my time. We watched it on TV5, the DISH-TV French extra cost channel. TV5 gave DISH the wrong description, as it was for ONE LAST FLIGHT, a movie about a boy & his grandpa who share their love for aviation. Surprise, surprise, it was about a woman trying to enlist the French Foreign Legion (Légion Étrangère) to help her. We saw it in French and I ignore the subtitles, but my wife reads them. I'm French, she's English. We both concurred that the woman pilot looking for her lost love was NOT married to the lost love (as said elsewhere on this page). He was married to another. Anyway, just take these films for what they are, just a fantasy, and dismiss your critical sense and let your imagination put you right up on that screen, next to the characters as they play out their parts. That's my goal. Hope this helps. Rocky in Arizona
