The Broken Wing (1932 film)

The Broken Wing is a 1932 American pre-Code drama film directed by Lloyd Corrigan and written by Grover Jones and William Slavens McNutt, adapted from the play of the same name by Paul Dickey and Charles W. Goddard.

The film stars Lupe Vélez, Leo Carrillo, Melvyn Douglas, George Barbier, Willard Robertson, Claire Dodd and Arthur Stone.

Philip, who for days, has been listening to the song of a whippoorwill suddenly recalls the opening bars of "Over There" and his time as a fighter pilot in the war.

He praised the film with the comment: "Leo Carrillo gives an ingratiating portrayal as a good-natured Mexican killer in the pictorial version of the play, 'The Broken Wing,' which is the chief attraction at the Paramount.

It may not be a new story, but it makes a highly amusing entertainment and it is splendidly staged and efficiently acted by the supporting cast, which includes the vivacious Lupe Velez.
