When the best Airmail pilot, Henri Guillaumet, disappears in the Andes, his best friend Antoine de Saint-Exupéry decides to go and look for him against all odds. The little prince was in every home, so the author’s story was eagerly awaited. The story is about when he and his childhood friend Gillaumet worked for the postal service between Argentina and Chile. So far so good. Friends and childhood peers. Now here’s the problem: when they got older, the age difference is almost 20 years. So here’s my criticism. Why is Cassal, 57, cast for a 29-year-old game? Saint Ex should be 30, played by a 41-year-old player, still ok. Diane Krueger was chosen to match Cassal’s age. Aren’t there any young actors in French cinema? So the casting, even if the good actors were terrible. The photos were great, but the scenes on the plane are not realistic!
