Die den Hals riskieren (1969)

Die den Hals riskieren: Directed by John Frankenheimer. With Burt Lancaster, Deborah Kerr, Gene Hackman, Scott Wilson. Three skydivers and their travelling thrill show barnstorm through a small midwestern town one Fourth of July weekend.

“a beautiful film.for the unique science of a great director to explore each possibility of story. for the art to discover the essence of a special sport. for acting- Deborah Kerr – Burt Lancaster is a splendid couple – , for the Scott Wilson performance, for Gene Hackman use of his character nuances. a film about passion made in admirable manner, with high precision.because it represents a gallery of portraits, decisions and opportunities, with the South melancholic spirit, with the force of a dangerous passion. one of films who preserves the flavor of lost age. and who propose a touching, profound story, a delicate view about life , duty and sacrifice.”
