Flying Padre (1951)

Stanley Kubrick's short documentary about Father Fred Stadtmueller, a Catholic priest serving a vast 4,000-square-mile parish in rural New Mexico. To reach his scattered congregation, he pilots his own Piper Cub aircraft, the Spirit of St. Joseph. Over two days, Kubrick follows the "flying padre" as he conducts Mass, mediates between quarreling children, attends a funeral, and airlifts a sick child to medical care—capturing both the challenges and quiet heroism of his daily mission.

This propaganda for missionary work is perfunctory and artificial and opportunities for a dramatic or human touch are missed. With all the starch taken out of it, it is only really worth watching for historical interest relating to either its subject matter or its director.

Minor, mild early effort from Stanley Kubrick.

FLYING PADRE is a short documentary about two typical days in the life of a priest named Fred Stadmueller. There's not much in the way of entertainment or interesting facts presented in this film. It's just another early Kubrick film, so it's worth a look.

Kubrick's second short black and white documentary is quite weird and funny in a unique way. Its shorter than the previous one and this time the camera follows a priest that travels between his parish by... his airplane of course! A fast mean for saving time and offering help to all of his flock, just like a humble superhero. The voice over narration fits great and the picture has overall nice air shots but apart from these is nothing special, just for one view ;)

A picture that has survived and will only survive in time due its director. Solely for the Kubrick completist.
