This movie motivated me to be an airline pilot when I was 7. Now I'm 50, flying the same route in the movie as a 767 Captain. Thank you Dean!
dasjms93 “The Poseidon Adventure” my first PG adult movie, at ten, with my mom.
He motivated me to be an alcoholic with a good head of hair, mistress & variety show.
@@zentraveler1834 Did the theatre roll over?
That's is the dream job Capt!
u.n. owen I’m dyin’ ovuh hear on that one 😂😂😂👍 Thanks!
Does anyone else feel that, as a dramattic actor, Dean Martin was under rated? He did quality work here, and all throughout the 60's and 70's.
Agreed. THE SONS OF KATIE ELDER.
Also did good work in serious dramatic in The Young Lions, with Montgomery Clift
He sang every bit as good as Frank
Concur. "Some Came Running".
Dean? I was always a Barry Nelson fan.
Alfred Newman's last score .. and listen closely -- can you hear the tribute to Gershwin and many others that inspired his work -- throughout the score.
I was driving by the Cleveland Hopkins Airport this evening on the way home from work, and saw a squadron of plows removing snow from the taxiways. This song started playing in my head.
AND SO BEGINS........ The Big Budget Multi Mega Stars "Disaster Movies" Of The 1970s' That Everyone Loved !!
This theme motivated me to be a snow truck driver.
Good one.
Same here! My parents took me to see this when it opened when I was 15 and right then and there I knew that is what I wanted to do ... be involved with aviation. Now, 43 years later with a commercial, multi-instrument and an AME license since 1976, I am still doing it! Can't think of doing anything but! :)
I love these stories So glad you achieved your dream
Just finish watching this movie on DVD and forgot how good it really was. Helen Hayes was hilarious and well deserved Oscar win. Great opening Theme song.
One of the first movies my mom ever took us to, and probably the first "disaster film" I ever saw. And the theme became synonymous with busy airports for me from then on!
Me too
Mechanic: "Mr. Patroni, don't you hear? We have to shut down!"
Joe Patroni: "I can't hear a thing, there's too much noise! Hold on, we're going for broke!"
My favorite line in the movie!
James Rankin George Kennedy was and forever will be Joe Patroni.
That’s a good thing about the 707. She can’t read.
I remember my parents taking me to see this movie, I was 9. My father said, during the landing scene I had a death grip on his hand. Lol
AIRPORT was never only about the disaster. It was about the ins and outs of the airport, hence the title. The sequels borrowed the name only to create a disaster franchise. So if you liked the romance of air travel, the atmosphere of the airport and the different jobs there, this was the story for you. It was one of the top grossers of its day, and still is when adjusted for inflation.
DMH Productions Thank you! Been trying to get that point across for years!
"Romance"?! So you've never been to an airport?
u.n. owen there was a romance to flying back in the 50’s through the early 70’s. It was a time when the air travel was a big exciting part of the trip. People got dressed up, the food was good, the stewardesses were friendly and kids got their own wings and could visit the cockpit. Today there is NO romance to flying. It is glorified mass transit.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who hears this them in his head when going to the airport. I work at LAX and I've been hearing this theme everyday for 10 years when I drive our company vehicle on the tarmac. A very well written composition that brings the image of a busy aiport to life.
One reason Airport still remains one of my all time favorite flicks it transport you back to a time when Air travel was a privilege.
mikemoair Back then Women were women.
It was indeed a privilege. My dad flew on American Airlines from Chicago to Los Angeles for around $600 then. Women wore skirts and heels and men wore suits and hats to fly. It's like taking a bus now.
Yeah and a really really cool thing. Movies like this were the reason why I wanted to make the PPL. :D Pilots and Stewardesses ...
Today flying is even worse than a ride in a Greyhound bus. Europe to Thailand or Europe to Dominican Republic ... never again 10 hours flights if I don't have to.
And what I said about pilots and Stewardesses - today the Crewmembers don't even know each other anymore. The pilots are sitting in their cockpits and the flight attendants work in the back. No reasons to see each other anymore ...
Although set at the Fictional “Lincoln Airport” near Chicago, the movie was filmed at Minneapolis-St.Paul airport.
O’Hare Airport’s original International terminal and Butler Aviation commuter terminal was torn down in 1980s to build the current Terminal 1 and In-Field extension (Lived thru that era flying to and thru O’Hare).
This theme and this movie made me want to be a pilot, which I eventually become thirty years later.
Congrats that was when flying was classy but that's a dream job
Alfred Newman's score for Airport is breathtaking. They just don't write them like that anymore. A supreme classic. Still gives me goosebumps.
Me Too that Van-Hefin which who was stark staring mad whose person which took out a policy and was blowing-up the aircraft and everybody aboard
I was 12 years old and I fell in love with Dean Martin watching this movie! I wrote a fan letter to him and he actually wrote back and included an autographed photo. It remains one of my prized possessions to this day! :-)
Desiree, wow I know how you feel. I have an autographed from Mr Arnold Palmer.
God I miss those movies back in the day. Big budget disasters were the best.
Airplane inspired me to become an airline pilot, but I never became one
“What’s your Vector Victor.?”
I only watch this move in reruns because of this!!! Amazing.
30 years ago, when I was in college radio, ABC News' raw radio feed would play this theme song to pep everyone up at 2 a.m. or so, as announcers were preparing their newscasts across the country. It always worked for me!
The Airport Theme - composed by Alfred Newman, the same maestro who composed one of the most famous fanfares in cinema history - the 20th Century Fox Fanfare.
--and the Cinemascope extension (to the 20th Century-Fox Fanfare)!
This is Alfred Newman's last, and one of his very best!! Absolutely superb! Stirring, heroic, awe-inspiring!
Sentado na cadeira de praia com fones de ouvido....viajo a bordo desta música maravilhosa.
2:37 "Global 45 Lincoln tower clear to land runway 29R wind 1.5 gusting 2.5, Roger clear to land runway insight".
One of my favorite movies of all time. Very enjoyable!
Agreed! Though the three "sequels" in and of themselves are great films, Airport possesses a special element that thrusts it over the top. My wife and I hail originally from Chicago; perhaps the snowy film appeals to our "roots".
I love the movie and I always seem sing the opening music ever time I watch something with airplanes in it. One of the great opening themes in movie history.
Great movie and music! So many great actors in this movie. Seems like yesterday.
George Kennedy is a beast in this film!! What a great actor!! And he is still around. Bless him. (For those of you who aren't up with today's slang.........Beast: a person who is very good at something.)
George Kennedy IS Joe Patroni. And Kennedy played Joe in ALL the Airport movies. Patroni even became captain of the Concorde:Airport 79. Now that is moving up the ladder in the Airline business.
right on, Mike. love that scene!!!!
mine is from the late, great Dean Martin as Captain Vernon Demerest:
You have a young navigator here! Well, I'll tell ya son... Due to a Cetcil wind, Dystor's vectored us into a 360-tarson of slow air traffic. Now we'll maintain this Borden hold until we get the Forta Magnus clearance from Melnics. best line of BS ever ;D
Leila Nurena from Dino
Wow, Dwight. So right on. Hit the nail on the head. I have, and alway's will be fascinated with this movie. Still remember the date I saw it: 3/16/70. Saturday school trip, Radio City Music Hall. One of the all time best of the best. A true classic. And, thank you for calling Trans Global. Oh Gwen, some coffee, please.
AIRPORT is my all time FAVORITE MOVIE!!!
Thanks. この映画、株主優待券を使って映画館で観ました。
The should play this theme on a continuous loop at LAX :o)
One of my all time favorite movies. Great book and nice adaptation. I had an old boss who lived in Minneapolis at the time and went down at night for the filming. Got into the crowd scene. My Uncle worked as a mechanic for Northwest at Minneapolis and told me about the filming as well.
カッコイイ曲です。中学生の時に関光夫さんの「映画音楽の夕べ」で聴いて以来のファンですが、ここでいつでも聴ける。たいへん嬉しいことですね。
the star of the movie... the 707... got me hooked on planes.
I wish that my band director would let us play this!!! 1:13 is my favorite part
I saw this movie when I was 10 years old. Became an Aircraft mechanic and then a pilot. Every great once in a while when I am shooting a full ILS approach and the weather is bad, I miss the theme song not playing in my cockpit in the back ground..
At my college radio station we would write and announce our own hourly newscasts late at night on weekends, drawing national news reports and sound from ABC Radio-- I always smiled when the news feed people in New York would play this song at 1:20 a.m. or 2:20 a.m., to wake us all up!
One of the best and most descriptive themes written for a film. I was about five when my mom took my sister and I to see this and I was really taken by the music. It was several years more before I found out there was a soundtrack and I managed to find a copy in the cut out section of a music store in downtown Chicago. I have that album to this day.
This might be the first movie score I paid attention to when I was a kid... this and The Poseidon Adventure. Great hearing this!
I was 16 when it opened at Radio City in New York.
What a show! I liked it so much I took a second date to see it the following weekend. To this date, I can't take that theme out of my mind no matter what runway I'm at.
omg ...amazing memories ¡¡¡
Alfred Newman's Airport theme always gets my pulse racing!
What a great throwback to soundtracks of that particular time in Hollywood films..
Always reminded me a bit of "Lost in Space".
Brings back great memories.
Tks for the post.
its one of my favourite movies and my favourite score
This is a epic bombastic movie score theme! Old school the way movies should sound!
This movie had a lot to do with my becoming an aviation fanatic. I will still in high school when it came out, and played the soundtrack (vinyl) for years. I drove my college roommate nuts playing the soundtrack nearly every day. Then again, he played his Chicago albums daily.
@SFConifer In L.A. for decades there was the exact same recording. "The white zone is for loading and unloading of passengers only. No parking." You can hear it in many films and TV shows.
This movie made me want to be an....... Airport Manager. Unfortunately I drank too much in college and never realized my dream. Today I’m a senior executive at a financial services firm but sometimes I still wonder - what if???
Good music and great movie. Love it. Long live George Kennedy!!!
It's a great piece of music
I loved this movie when it came out! Great soundtrack and actors. Especially loved George Kennedy in this movie! He was going to move that plane come hell or high water! Great part!
"Hang on we are going for broke!" *blasts the throttle*
George Kennedy was great in everything.
Although it's pretty antiquated now, I've always loved this movie and the original book on which it was based. And yes, I always think of this theme when heading for the airport!!
One of my favorite Main Titles, bar none. Alfred Newman rules!
Great movie. Jacqueline Bisset, grrr!
Wow, you recall the exact date. I remember reading Arthur Hailey's AIRPORT in 1983 when I was 17. Sure it was pulp, but it was involving. I won't forget that snowed-in plane and the characters. The 1970 film had an unrivalled big cast.
all movies with George Kennedy seem to become winners...this and the ones that followed are classics
I remember l saw it at radio music hall in new york city 1970 l was ten years old we got free tickets to see it. And l remember the show it was so good after the movie
Alfred Newman cannot be surpassed - this, The Song of Bernadette, How the West was Won, The Robe, The President's Lady, The Greatest Story Ever Told, How to Marry a Millionaire, Nevada Smith, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Anastasia, Hell and High Water, The Diary of Anne Frank and so many, many more...
i can still see Burt Lancaster and Jean Seaberg in that station wagon checking for debris along runway two niner :))))
Very heroic theme. Makes me feel as John Wayne in The High and the Mighty.
I always wanted to go into an airport and have D.O. Guererro paged and see what happened.....
Que bela trilha sonora inesquecivel!!!!!!2
ola o meu nome e eduardo sou de sao paulo brazil eu tenho esse l livro e fantastico li umas 15 fezes e eu tenho esse lebro a 15 anos abracos a todos
👏👏
You're forgetting the key ingredient to any great Airport movie, George Kennedy!
I SAW THIS WONDERFUL MOVIE AT THE AGE OF 15 WITH MY MOM THEN READ THE NOVEL!
I was 10 when this came out and remember going with my parents to see it. First boyhood crush was on Jaqueline Bisset. Pretty good taste for a punk kid, huh?
You gotta love the "busy" music!
eu adoro esse filme tenho ate o livro
At the Philadelphia airport now waiting for my plane listening to this
The classic 707. The only thing that plane can't handle is a bad pilot!
The movie album was the first record that I ever bought.
a remake with the new filming technology would be awesome!!!!!!!
Jimi - Perú, What a great film and song!!!!
Work hard, Kojima!
hahahahaha nice one 😅
did he use this song?
Helen Hayes played a stowaway in this film and she was so lovable!
She should have been given an Oscar for that role
Um, she was. Helen won Best Actress in a Supporting Role at the 1971 Oscars.
Pre 911 when our airports and passengers were classy
CLASSIC, SOARING, DYNAMIC IN EVERY WAY! CAN'T BELIEVE IT LOST TO THE MAUDLIN SAPPINESS OF "LOVE STORY" 😖
Funny, my cat nigh keeps hissing at me when I keep hugging her while watching this with her repeatedly. Nigh/in close proximity/nearby!! :)
george one tuff dude loved him in thunderbolt and lightfoot
daniel - brazil
excelente video - o filme ja nao é tão interessante, mas as trilhas sonoras nos fazem tornar nostalgicos
parabens por publicar e obrigado
It's funny how most of the actors and crew involved in the movie didn't like the film at all, and they absolutely hated being in Minneapolis during the winter. (Coming from southern California - can you blame them?). Nevertheless, it is a film which we all remember fondly. I saw it at a drive-in theater with my parents. Would have been pointless to go with my girlfriend....
+trha2222 I once knew a friend from Brooklyn who grew up in Russia and taught me some moves the 'special forces' use over there - simple but brutal stuff.
Conga Leader..Snow desk...Move!!
I love from 2:08 to about 2:18 ... and the bass line !
Every time I transit MSP (Minneapolis) airport, this music plays in my head.
Fun .... and disturbing, all at the same time.
Great French Horn Riffs!
@SignalsOverTheAir
Patton is a great movie and deserved the win, but Airport launched two different genres, the disaster movie and the laugh-a-minute movie satire, and they're both still going strong today. Not too many films you can say that about.
The White Zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only; there is no parking in the Red Zone
It still amazes me that this was made in 1970...by that time,Old Hollywood was dead,and you had maverick filmmakers breaking rules left and right;in dire contrast,this was a very conventional movie for its time.
FRom a time where flying was a joyful experience and free from all sorts of security checkpoints that when one flies it seems like your going back in time Orwellian time from 1984 a Police state
It was the "[freedom] from all sorts of security checkpoints" that made it possible for Guerrero to sneak his briefcase bomb onto the 707 in the film.
:)
I sing this whenever I'm clearing snow off my car.
Airport would of won Best Picture if not for Patton being released the same year. The same thing would of happen to Audrey Hepburn with Wait Until Dark, she would of won best actress if not for Guess Who's Coming To Diner coming out the same year with Katherine Hepburn.
Note john wayne was offer the part George Kennedy did
This was a great score by Newman. It's muscular (it could almost be a Jimmy Page riff), vast, romantic, and it gives you the feeling of a large airport with the live of the people working and going through it. It also makes me remember the days when it was made. The one shot of the parkinglot full of cars in the winter. Flying was special then and in the early '60's. Men wore suits and women wore skirts and heels.
I always felt sorry for Inez.
and two and half feet in the ground
Never far as good or dramatic of what John Cacavas composed for the "Airport-Series" - but easy enjoyable....
