Best Ariport Film .......2007-06-08

Somepeople say airport '77 was beter then airport '75 but airport '75 has beter acting beter sotry and the whole story and movie was the BEST. If you are planing on seeing airport '77 it's fine as it self but i'd see airport '75 if i were you. Both are fine but '75 is beter by a lot.

Info on the VHS version.......2007-05-16

You might want to know that the out of print VHS (I happen to own one) is recorded at LP speed instead of SP. It has a mono soundtrack & is not recorded in VHS HiFi. Also it's pan & scan instead of widescreen like the DVD. You want widescreen? Then go get the DVD. Otherwise save a few bucks (if you have a VHS machine or a DVD/VHS combo) and get the tape.

The movie is still very enjoyable even in this version....

THE SECOND OF 4 IN THE GREAT AIRPORT MOVIE COLLECTION.......2007-01-30

This was the second of four Airport movies and it was as good as the
first one. Charlton Heston plays the role of Alan Murdock, Karen Black
plays the role of Nancy Pryor and George Kennedy plays his second
straight role Joe Patroni. Nancy Pryor has A disagreement with Alan
Murdock before she boards Columbia Airlines, flight 409, a Boeing 747
flying from Washington to Los Angeles. On this same flight is Joe
Patroni wife and son. While in flight the plane is hit head on by a
small, plane that goes down some where over the state of Iowa. Injured
on the plane is the pilot and co pilot and there's no one to fly the
plane. Now the first flight attendant Nancy Pryor is forced into flying
the plane with the help of Captain Murdock and Joe Patroni. Now Joe
Patroni is left with only one problem and that's who's going to land
the plane in Salt Lake City.

Breathtaking shots of a Jumbo Jet, just yards above the peaks of the Rocky Mountains..........2006-12-17

Stricken with a massive heart attack on his private light aircraft, Dana Andrews collides into the nose of an unsuspecting 747 jumbo jet, alternated, for bad weather, to land in Salt Lake City...

Impact puts a gaping hole in the cockpit of the heavy jet... The co-pilot (Roy Thinnes) is sucked from his seat and goes flying into the wild blue space, the navigator (Erik Estrada) is killed by a falling instrument panel, the pilot (Efrem Zimbalist Jr.) is blinded, unable to speak clearly and with continuity, and he cannot fly the aircraft...

Nancy (Karen Black), the flight attendant, scared but cool, has to maneuver the jumbo to safety...

On the ground everyone has been alerted... Joe Patroni (George Kennedy) and Alan Murdock (Charlton Heston), decide to meet the jetliner, with 120 passengers, for a daring midair rescue...

Among the passengers: a famous movie star Gloria Swanson; a lovely teen-ager awaiting kidney transplant (Linda Blair); the wife and son of the airport operations chief (Susan Clark and Brian Morrison); two nuns (Martha Scott and Helen Reddy); plus a needlepoint woman; an hostile man; a dowager with dog; a Rock star and two Rock singers...

"Airport 1975" marks the 4th happy co-starring of Heston with Martha Scott... They were together on Broadway, and she played his mother in both "The Ten Commandments," and "Ben-Hur."

For all the lovers of disaster films, this old-fashioned "Grand Hotel" of a movie does offer excitement, suspense and breathtaking shots of a Jet death-defying flight, just yards above the peaks of the Rocky Mountains...
