	Movies - Flying Padre

Flying Padre is a 1951 short subject (8-minute) black-and-white documentary, which is notable as the second picture directed by Stanley Kubrick.

The subject is a Catholic priest in rural New Mexico, Father Fred Stadtmuller. Because his 400-square mile parish is so large, he uses a Piper Cub airplane (named the "Spirit of St. Joseph") to travel from one isolated settlement to another.

In the film, we see him providing guidance, giving sermons at funerals, and serving as an impromptu air ambulance by flying a sick child and his mother to hospital.
