Of course, a piece of luggage could have been placed in the doorway so Wayne didn't have to keep pushing on the door, but then, where's the drama in that?
I wore bathing trunks and t shirt from Thailand back to Canada because when i went to change into my pants at the airport , they wouldn't fit . I had put on 20 pounds eating my mother in laws yummy thai cooking. haha At least the swim trunks looked like normal street shorts , but they were still wet from my morning dip in the airport hotel. opps
And the disheveled hair and scraggly beards? I'm old enough to have observed how society went from well groomed to slovenly. It started in the late 60s and went downhill. Sad statement about the kind of culture we've become.
An "aft" CG has less drag than a forward CG. So in a real emergencys put as much weight in the aft as the weight and balance will allow. An aft CG saves both fuel as well as time...the AC will crouse at a slightly higher airspeed...therefore saving fuel.
Robert Newton, playing one of the main characters, was a hopeless drunk who was felled by a heart-attack at age 50 a few years after this picture was made. So much for "real men" etc..
Not one of the Duke's finer moments. Stupid plot, lousy script, he should have said no. If he were still with us and heeded my advice, I'd say "You're welcome."
"Grab me round the waist" and "keep behind me". Words I never thought to hear from John Wayne.

Every suitcase was alike! Must have been only one store selling suitcases! Lol
Dumping the fur coat lightened the plane just enough to get to SFO.
Wow… folks sure dressed up for air travel back in the day. Where’s the flip flops and dirty cargo shorts?
All right ladies, time to lose the clothes

Great score by Dmitri Tiomkin
Well, that's some dialog you don't want to take out of context. 8^D
True!
That's the actress from "Stagecoach", cool.
Claire Trevor....
Key largo too
@@michellekampe5619 sure enough, good eye!
Back when ladies were glamorous!
Don't think the lady in the blue dress would be allowed on a modern flight unless she kept that mink coat on.

Instead of him holding the door open, one of those suitcases could have been put across the door.
exactly right, but then less drama!
@@russ254 show the label and get some advertisment money, early product placement.
What I would like to know is why did that lady have a Fur coat coming out of Hawaii?
As a commercial pilot, I view this movie more of a comedy rather than one of suspense.
just curious, what is unrealistic about it?
@@essessessesq My name is not Just Curious
you must be young.
Back when they made real movies and a real actors they were real men not like the ones we got now
Real movies yes, but real men especially in Hollywood?
Robert Newton, playing one of the main characters, was a hopeless drunk who was felled by a heart-attack at age 50 a few years after this picture was made. So much for "real men" etc..
Pilgrim kinda liked datpushin ireckin
Moral of the story? Never take anything of value or sentimental value when flying.
Robert Newton Long John Silver
😀 would have spoiled stability
the FE would just refigure weight and balance

He even made "The Conqueror" around the mid-'50s, a real casting-aberration.
The Jew grabbed that bottle of wine!!!
