Very good movie
by TC-4 β€’ 2001-11-03

"I enjoyed this movie, not because 53 people died in a plane crash, but because through a determined investigation the cause was found and hopefully that same mistake won't happen again. Strangely Dorothy Malone who was terriffic was unbilled. Also, even though it starts out with the credits "A Cinemascope Movie" it is not shown that way even on my premium channel so I did not get to see the entire picture which is maddening. It will be much more enjoyed if you can see it in the proper aspect ratio of 2.35 to l...."

πŸ’‘ Did You Know?

The fictional airliner in this movie is a DC-7, substantially altered to look like a contemporary jet airliner, but not resemble any that actually existed. Because of the theme (and to avoid spoiling an excellent ending), no airline or aircraft manufacturer would have anything to do with the movie, and any resemblance to an actual aircraft would invite litigation. Curiously, there are aspects to the fake wings that are almost 30 years ahead of their time.
