Gloria (1931 film)

Gloria is a 1931 French-German drama film directed by Hans Behrendt and starring Gustav Fröhlich, Brigitte Helm, and Rolf Drucker.

After his marriage with Maria, and under her pressure, he severely limited his dangerous undertakings, ending up being, according to his expression, a mere "driver of the air", or rather conducting scheduled flights together with his co-pilot Jakopp Spindler.

In the end, Johnny, with pretexts and quibbles, manages to lure Maria, now quite drunk, into a plane, piloting which she takes off into the night.

Georg learns that Johnny spent the night on a plane with a woman, and smiles as he thinks of his friend's well-known gifting skills.

Meanwhile, Georg and Jakopp are facing and resolving various failures of the jet, forced to get out of the cockpit and to act on its wings, in flight, risking frostbite and life.

Finally, the sensational news is spread that Georg Köhler and Jakopp Spindler have landed in New York, thus accomplishing an exceptional feat.

Upon returning home, acclaimed heroes, Georg (who reconciles with Johnny) and his co-pilot manage to escape yet another boring speech from the mayor thanks to an innocent statement from Felix.
