Dirigible (film)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dirigible is Frank Capra's 1931 adventure film about the competition to reach the South Pole between a French airship and U.S. naval fixed-wing pilots.
Fay Wray stars, as do Jack Holt and Ralph Graves, who also played fliers in Capra's 1929 talkie, Flight. In fact this film had been intended to emulate the success of another movie with a very similar plot (1927's Wings.)

- Dirigible as SF: scifilm.org calls it "marginally science fictional". (Capra later planned to make a fully science fictional movie but was never able to.)
