In honor of the 100th anniversary of the birth of Ronald Reagan, the Warner Archive offers a 2-day complimentary streaming of the 1938 movie "Secret Service of the Air," a B-movie adventure starring young Warner contract player Reagan as Lt. “Brass” Bancroft.Click here to visit the Warner Archive site between 12:00 a.m. PST on February 6 and Monday, February 7 at 11:59 p.m. PST to stream the film on your computer. Available only to US residents on PC and Mac® computers with Adobe Flash Player 10 or higher (no other devices supported).
The film is also available as part of the Warner Archive two-disc set "Brass Bancroft of the Secret Service Mystery Collection," which features all four of the snappy adventures, all of them second features that run at or under an hour. "Secret Service of the Air" is the first of the quartet and lively fun for a B-movie. Reagan has a scrappy charm as an action hero who has more tenacity and smart-alecky gumption than grit. Good-looking and perfectly amiable, he's quite the all-American good guy in a flight jacket and good-natured grin and Eddie Foy Jr. makes a terrific foil as a wise-cracking sidekick, the urban wise-guy to Reagan's high-flying hero.
