Saint-Ex: The Story of the Storyteller Movie Review 1995

Ambitious bio based on famous French aviator, and author of the children's classic "The Little Prince," Antoine de Saint-Exupery (Ganz). Flashbacks show his childhood obsession with flying that eventually lead to Saint-Exuprey's perilous North African mail flights during WWII. Beyond his passion for flying is his marriage to Consuelo (Richardson), who comes to resent his frequent absences, and the later, more-supportive love of Genevieve (McTeer). Striking visuals but that's about all.
