Flying Padre (Stanley Kubrick, 1951)


After Kubrick sold his first short film, the self-financed Day of the Fight, to RKO in 1951, the company advanced the 23-year-old filmmaker money to make a documentary short for their Pathe Screenliner series. Flying Padre was the result.

In an interview in 1969, Kubrick referred to Flying Padre as "silly".
