The Riddle of the Stinson

This is a great movie. Good story, good script lively characters based apparently on a true event. It seem to me hard to find information on this movie anywhere and I have not seen any references to it other than here.

At this writing, free on YT. Helluva story well dramatised. I've a partiality for Aussie stuff but any U.S. audience will find this engaging.

Nicely done Aussie TV movie highlighted by good cinematography, acting and directing. The film is based on a true story.

Sadly, the film is marred by an ill conceived music score. The ever present solo bluesy harmonica is annoying and anachronistic.

I love this film. I caught it by chance one night on TV many many years ago and have tried to locate a copy ever since. Now that I have found one and have been able to watch it again I can see why it made such an impression.

True stories always intrigue me and with the added bonus of old planes and great scenery it's a must. Great acting too and a heart warming human story, with a real 'Aussie' feel about it. The period feel is beautifully captured.

Hopefully one of the many Sky movie channels will eventually show it again as it's long overdue. Look out for it.

I saw this film about 17 years ago. It was on TV late at night I was about to go to bed but got hooked. It was and is one of the most inspiring films I have seen. I choke up just thinking about it. Coincidentally not long after seeing the film I found myself at OReillys guest house; I had not realised the connection and was overwhelmed to actually be having dinner with one of the family. I gave my comments on the film and was surprised to hear that the O'Reilly family hated it and actually commissioned their own film (which I have not seen). I would really like to see this film again but its almost as if it never existed.
