"The Last Flight" is a 1931 film starring Richard Barthelmess, David Manners, John Mack Brown, and Helen Chandler.

The film is known as a Lost Generation celebration of alcohol involving three young World War I veterans who opt to drink indefinitely and almost continuously in Paris with the vivacious and beautiful woman they've befriended.

Cary Grant appeared opposite Fay Wray in a Broadway version of the story called "Nikki" while he was still billed as "Archie Leach," and later adopted his first name from the character he played on stage and Barthelmess portrayed in the film version ("Cary Lockwood").
