Narrative
When the best airmail pilot Henri Guillaumet disappears in the Andes, his best friend Antoine de Saint-Exupéry decides to search for him against all odds. The Little Prince was in every house, so the author’s story was eagerly awaited. The plot tells about the time spent with his childhood friend Gillaumet and their work at the post office between Argentina and Chile. So far, so good. They are childhood friends and are the same age. And here comes the problem, when they grew up, the age difference was almost 20 years. Here is my review. Why did they cast Cassal at 57 to play a 29-year-old? Saint Ex should be 30, and he is still played by a decent 41-year-old. Diane Krueger decided to match Cassal’s age. Does the French film industry have no young actors? So the choice of actors, although good, was bad. The images were great, but the scenes on the plane were not realistic!
