Ben Sombogaart
Blu-Ray Review: ‘Bride Flight’ Bolstered By Fine Acting, Gorgeous Locales
Submitted by mattmovieman on October 4, 2011 - 7:20amCHICAGO – A glance at the premise of Ben Sombogaart’s “Bride Flight” would lead one to believe that the entire film chronicled the 1953 long distance air race from London to Christchurch, New Zealand. Yet that backdrop merely serves as the launching pad for a plethora of melodramatic fireworks. Despite occasional moments of hokum, the film benefits greatly from its three splendid leads.
