Ace Eli and Rodger of the Skies (1973)

Directed by John Erman
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb

Aimless film about a pilot and son wandering the country in the 1920s. There seems to be some sort of role reversal, as the father has a childlike demeanor and the son, who says he is 13, curses like a sailor, drinks, smokes and visits prostitutes. They both are running away from the reality of their mother's/wife's accidental death that starts the film, but what they hope to find is a mystery, and still is when the credits roll.
