Reception
T.M.P. of The New York Times said, "What would you do if you only had six months to live?" That is the problem which confronts Thomas Mitchell as an elderly professor suffering from an aortic aneurysm in Flight From Destiny. The same question has been pondered before on the screen, but seldom has it been dealt with so intelligently and entertainingly as in the new Warner drama at the Palace. Scenarist Barry Trivers has avoided artfully the pitfalls of a morbid theme by having Professor Todhunter regard his plight philosophically. And it was most fortunate that an actor of Mr. Mitchell's ability was selected to interpret the role, for he is a tower of strength."[2]
