Film historians and Earhart scholars consider Flight for Freedom an à clef version of Amelia Earhart's life story, concentrating on the sensational aspects of her disappearance during her 1937 world flight. The film's ending speculated that the main character's disappearance was connected to a secret mission on behalf of the U.S. government. As a propaganda film, the Japanese characters in Flight for Freedom were portrayed as devious and evil. ## Credits - **Director:** [Lothar Mendes](https://cinepixo.com/people/lothar-mendes) - **Screenplay:** [Jane Murfin](https://cinepixo.com/people/jane-murfin) - **Original Music Composer:** [Roy Webb](https://cinepixo.com/people/roy-webb) - **Producer:** [David Hempstead](https://cinepixo.com/people/david-hempstead) - **Director of Photography:** [Lee Garmes](https://cinepixo.com/people/lee-garmes) - **Editor:** [Roland Gross](https://cinepixo.com/people/roland-gross) ## Cast - [Rosalind Russell](https://cinepixo.com/people/rosalind-russell) - [Edward Fielding](https://cinepixo.com/people/edward-fielding) - [Walter Kingsford](https://cinepixo.com/people/walter-kingsford) - [Mary Treen](https://cinepixo.com/people/mary-treen) - [Fred MacMurray](https://cinepixo.com/people/fred-macmurray) - [Herbert Marshall](https://cinepixo.com/people/herbert-marshall) - [Eduardo Ciannelli](https://cinepixo.com/people/eduardo-ciannelli) ## Criticism on CinePixo No reviews published yet.
