    One risky profession
    Lucky Devils is the story of William Boyd and William Gargan and a fraternity of men in the same profession. While watching this film these guys had the same devil may care attitude that flyers have. I could have been watching Dawn Patrol.

    One thing Boyd says though, no marriages, no attachment to women of any kind because you lose your edge and nerve. Then of course he falls for Rose Wilson and when they expect a third one, Boyd has to start concerning himself with family.

    If this film had been made at MGM instead of RKO this would have been perfect for Clark Gable. No criticism of Boyd who did a lot of these action films before becoming Hopalong Cassidy.

    Lucky Devils hlds u well. I couldsee a remake with Matt Damon and Brad Pitt.
