Desperate Cargo (1941)

An American drama directed by William Beaudine.
A ladies' man, one of the flight crew, some female entertainers and a group of men planning to steal the vessel get ready to board an airplane together.
The setup for the film is going along great. Everyone has been introduced and they have histories outside the film. The plot is really coming together, but what's that? Only a few minutes left? Sure, we can end it as fast as you want!
That's how it seemed to me. The editing was sloppy and the pace deteriorated quickly. Despite the age of the film and the editing/pacing defects, it was going great until the end and then BLAM! it's done. I'm rating this poor for a botched ending.
