Curiosità

Crack-Up is a 1936 American drama film directed by Malcolm St. Clair. Peter Lorre plays a harmless, half-addled aircraft enthusiast who is actually a ruthless spy desperate to get his hands on the blueprints for an experimental aircraft for a trans-Atlantic flight. He faces off against Ace Martin, played by Brian Donlevy, the pilot of the aircraft, whose motives are spurred by feeling cheated by his own company. The supporting cast includes Helen Wood, Ralph Morgan and Thomas Beck.

Production

Principal photography for Crack-Up took place from late September to late October 1936, primarily at the 20th Century Fox studios in Hollywood of Los Angeles, California. A newly developed Lockheed Model 10 Electra airplane from the Lockheed Aircraft Corporation manufacturing plant in nearby Burbank, California stood in for the experimental "Wild Goose" research aircraft portrayed in the 1936 film giving it a futuristic realism.
