have you ever heard this joke? there was a italian pilot, he was having problem with his plane, so he goes on the radio, and starts saying amayday, amayday, the tower comes on, and says, how can I help you, pilot says I'mma having problems wither-ma plane, so the tower says what's your height, and your position? the italian pilot says I'm 5 foot 3, and I'm sitting down! LOL!
@@jerrypolverino6025 how did thoses planes hold up? What kind if bolts and rivet's did they use then? How safe were they? I don't like flying it scares me to much now, i don't think I would have traveled then if I were alive, at the most you can get out of a car or train, but your stuck on a plane till it lands,
hey this movie reminds me of a joke I heard one time! the joke goes like this, two business men where taking a flight, they got on board, and started to drink, the plane was in the air about an hour when the pilot, got on the intercom, and said excuse me ladies and gentlemen we will be in flight for one more hour because number one engine just blow out! so the two business men continue drinking not really paying attention, one hour pass, the pilot come' on the intercom, says ladies and gentlemen, number two engine just blow out we will be in flight for one more hour, so the two businessmen kept drinking getting drunk! one hour passes, the pilot come on again on the intercom, ladies and gentlemen number three engine just blow out, we will be in flight for one more hour, so one of the businessmen look toward the other businessmen, and said, if one more engine blow out, will be stuck up here all day!

And every one of the flight control levers had cables that ran to each of the various airplane wings ailerons, rudders and trim tabs. No electric motors were used because too many problems could and probably would occur while in flight. Also, regarding the flight panel gauges, pretty much only coils, resistors, capacitors and diodes were used. That's about as computer-advanced as they were back then. And, while all four engines were under full power during takeoffs, you couldn't hear the person sitting next to you even if he/her was screaming at you. Truly the ultimate intense flying experience for passengers ! But, when compared to today's Boeing 737 with the average airspeed between 567 and 606 miles per hour and the average airspeed of the DC 7 at 367 mph, you would be traveling in the DC 7 at ONLY a little more than half the speed which means it would take you about twice as long to get to any destination. Also, modern passenger aircraft travels at an altitude of between 35,000 and 40,000 feet. BUT the DC 7 ONLY traveled at a altitude of about 20,000 feet. That meant that passengers traveling in the DC 7 had a much better view of the landscapes they were flying over.
In screenwriting there is an incredibly powerful and important tool that veteran writers use to maintain suspension of disbelief. Particularly when the storyline requires selling wild plot points. It’s generally termed “writing across the grain.” What it means is that instead of penning dialogue that is completely indicative by the characters’ actions or by the scene itself, the writer chooses more organic utterances that convey emotion indirectly. For example let’s say a husband arrives home early from work. He enters through an unlocked kitchen door. He calls out to his wife. The family dog greets him with another man’s handkerchief in his drooling mouth. We see embroidered initials that are not our heroes. This could intercut with the interloper death defyingly scrambling down a trellis. Carrying his shoes and shirt. When the heroes wife enters the kitchen the husband says “Dammit how many times with the door? You leave it unlatched, Rover gets out. Off he goes every time a breeze pushes.” This conveys the irritation and anger that’s developing between the husband and his likely-unfaithful wife. It gives the audience more than saying “dammit, Helen here I have Arturo’s handkerchief!” By writing across the grain you allow the audience to guess and second guess “what’s going to happen next?” In 1954 “On the Waterfront” introduced American audiences to what the great European Directors were already doing. Then “Best Years of Our Lives” continued the technique. This film is still holding onto the pre-“Waterfront” writing style. This was due partially to so many film writers who came up through writing radio plays. Where indicative dialogue is necessary. Anyhow it’s great to see some of these characters who we know from huge iconic roles doing something different here.
This is based on a true story. The flight attendant was the one that decided to move the passenger's foreword. And i believe excessive fuel consumption was the reason for ditching. Best Wishes!

Good old movie, they were normally somewhat predictable years ago but still .. a good movie! I'm glad he saved the dog, just wouldn't have been right in those days! Turning the birds loose was a good deed, too, but I sorta wondered .. if they survived the wind-speed, where in the world would they land?? I guess in a movie it just didn't matter, good deeds were done by all! :^) Thanks for sharing this movie!
1:42 😂 Pilot is Smoking in the cockpit. I saw another old black & white film which was set in a hospital, and two surgeons were smoking in the operating theatre.
its just entertainment. have fun take a couple of deep breaths life is short and goes by fast.Before you know it you're an old fart like me complaining on U Tube.
The first commercial flight I was on had curtains on the windows. Smoking was allowed during the flight. Stewardesses had to be unmarried registered nurses. Passengers walked out of the airport, across an open space, and climbed up a set of stairs in order to board. Much has changed.
And they had to be beautiful and unmarried too! I remember, over 60 years ago, my mother told me “You’re not pretty enough to be an air hostess.” It was an elite job in those days.
"not pretty enough?"...shame on your mother.like mine telling me because I'm left handed im going to be clumsy...and me disproving it my whole life....😮well thanks for letting me rant .old now still left handed😂@@Woodman-Spare-that-tree
That DC6B or 7 would of made it ok to Gander which was always emergency or refuel tech stop in 1940s 50s 60s on amount of fuel onboard they still had past half way point on north Atlantic crossing .
It always annoys me that these flyboys don't observe proper radio procedure. Now, I've had to pause my viewing pleasure in order to make this comment!😛 It's not "over and out" . . . over means that you expect a response. "Out" is the proper way to end a conversation. Sheeesh!
I know it amazes me even when they get technical aviation experts as consultants in to help - the same, The work on the yokes is normally very poor as well.
@@fuzzfacelogic789 yep, those yokes are scrambled🤣 hardly any of the pilots can stay in their seat longer than five minutes and despite having to ditch in the ocean and dark time they end up having enough power to maintain altitude for several hours to select where they will ditch but miraculously they can’t get to their final destination in New York or wherever it is, captain wants everybody to be specific which is no problem but then he talks in generalities himself
They are actors, not aviators. And the writers don't have much of a clue either. Audiences are not supposed to critique the movies. Pretty funny when a lot of us have been doing just that since we first learned about aircraft.
Man, this movie is about as cornball, unbelievable, error ridden and hokey as it gets. It should have been rated as a comedy. At 1:06:02 they are flying over land. How nuts is that in mid-Atlantic???
These are one of the old movies that was produced by, written by, photography by and directed by Jewish-American people that were very aggressively and successfully getting involved into moviemaking back in the 1950s. BUT notice how there are no Jewish actors. Why? Because they didn’t have good acting characteristics nor appealing facial features. But they did use a Jewish baby being held by the mother as she walked through the airplane. And notice how the baby has an attitude like…. “Get me away from these bright lights and stop holding me because you’re not my mommy!”
I’m an airline pilot. These movies always crack me up. There are so many errors it’s hilarious.

1:42 😂 Pilot is Smoking in the cockpit. I saw another old black & white film which was set in a hospital, and two surgeons were smoking in the operating theatre.
No commercial pilot ever wore a baseball cap in flight.
Thank you 🙏 they don’t make movies like that anymore
They certainly dont. No smoking on Aeroplanes or work places for decades now.😊
Because it was already made; why do it again.
Sadly no. This is one of the greatest disaster movies ever made. Didn’t the stewardess get a best supporting actor nomination and win?
