      John Farrow was such a skilled director that for an instant I thought there might be a plot point wherein commitment to aviation is costing some character his or her hearing, and this was an avant-garde way of showing that. Thanks for the explanation.

      How crazy is it that a hymn can be copyrighted 😮
      At least no one can 'copyright' the One , they are singing about . 😊

      Thank you for posting this. It was a good Sunday afternoon film, with a little history lesson woven in. All your "extras" in the below-screen notes were also excellent. Sincere appreciation for all your efforts.

    The title is a phrase from the John Milton poem "Samson Agonistes" ("O dark,dark,dark, amid the blaze of noon")
    Sonny Tufts, from a wealthy family, became a violent drunk and wrecked a promising career, dying young. William Holden began hitting the bottle in the '50s and also became a sloppy drunk, dying 'accidentally' at 63.

    Thanks for posting a good movie. Sure wish the sound was better. It was an issue for me the whole show through. Thanks also for trying to clean up the audio. I'm a big fan of all the main actors. I thought for sure the movie would have a happy ending, but disappointed at the ending. Ernest Gann wrote the story. I really liked all his stuff. I signed up after I watched your offering.
    🥰😪😪 Thanks, and keep it up.

      Sorry about that! The scene in the church around 22/23 minutes in had to be muted due to a copyright claim on the hymn they sing. There are also a few scenes where the dialog is hard to understand. I went through great lengths to make these scenes more understandable but I didn’t succeed as well as I’d wanted. It will take a serious restoration by someone with access to a print to really give this film the love and care it deserves! I hope that day comes. Thank you so much for watching and for your comment!

      The sound in general was choppy and staticky for the entire film. Thank you for trying to fix it.
