I loved this film when it came out. For 7 Sundays in a row I took the bus into the city and watched the film.
A very fine tribute to a great motion picture Airport was a sensational film, PERIOD!!!!!
Airport 77: The plane doesn’t just sink. It sinks IN THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE.
GREAT VIDEO. “Airport” was the first movie I saw with my own money. Still love it.
+MightyMezzo. Your money was well spent. “Airport” (1970) is a classic movie.
Worshipped these films as a child. Still enjoy them today as an aviation geek. Growing up landlocked in the middle of the country, the notion of flying off on a plane was very exciting.
It was in the good days from 1960 to 1989! People got dressed up and they were nice along with the entire crew, 15 airlines in this country or more especially (TWA and Pan Am). They fed you the food was really good, you could see a movie, listen to all kinds of music on the headphones, people smoked and there was a true feeling of respect and Morality. Not anymore though, and it's an unforgivable shame, PERIOD!!!!!
Worshipped? Lol. WTF is WRONG with you?
I toured UNIVERSAL STUDIOS THAT YEAR & recall the tram tour taking us right past a full-scale cutaway of the airliner, the tour guide walking us into Mr. Martin's dressing room .I was 14 at the time & really loved it. Wish i could go back & relive the entire experience.
That's a great story! Thank you for sharing!
We saw this at a drive-in when my brothers and I were kids. It's still one of my favorites. I've never seen any of those three sequels, nor do I have any desire to.
That scene at the end of the movie where the Doctors are talking about Gwen being pregnant and then Dean Martin walks out infront of his wife and does not even see, her, Brutal.
Yes, and she's played by "Perry Mason"s Della Street, Barbara Hale!
@@tvmonte I’m sure her former boss could refer her to the most bloodthirsty divorce lawyer in the city.
Idiotic..He sees her...He chose to IGNORE her
I think of the landing sequence climax every single time I fly and we land in a snow storm. The music is blaring in my head!! For the past 45 years!!❤
Same here Sir. Pilot chops the throttles - goes into full thrust reverse - engages the speed brakes (spoilers). Excellent attention to detail.
WTF is WRONG with you
"Everyday is beautiful.. you're just too young to know that"...
-- Gloria Swanson, "Airport '75"
Panned by so many.......yet, the film did exactly what any movie is supposed to do, and did it superbly: entertain!
Panned by so many? Lol. WTF? NO it WASN'T
Just watched it. Very enjoyable.
Airport '77 was the best. I can still remember watching it as a kid in the movie theater. I loved it.
"We're all gonna die" Smack.
Always make me laugh when the priest slaps him. 🤣
Wow, this episode brings back a lot of memories!
I had just turned 18 and my parents decided to let me drive into Kansas City, with my girlfriend and another couple. It was about a 200 mile round trip. We made the trip with no problems and had a memorable movie experience.
The movie seemed magical with all the characters and airplanes. To see it now, some of the special effects seem very dated. But it still stirs my heart when I hear the music at the start of the movie.
Arthur Hailey got the idea for a suicidal bomber on an airliner from a real event in 1962. Continental Flight 11 was brought down by a bomb near Unionville, Missouri. Just like in the movie, the bomber had personal and legal problems. He had purchased several sticks of dynamite before he left Chicago. He had also purchased life insurance and had, again like in the movie, bought another policy at the airport.
The flight was from O’Hare airport in Chicago to Kansas City. Over southern Iowa, the bomber ignited the dynamite. Unlike in the movie, when the bomb went off in the starboard rear restroom, it blew the tail off of the main fuselage. Even though the aircrew did everything they could, the flight was doomed. All passengers were killed.
The insurance policies were cancelled because the death was a suicide.
Thank you for this, it's great! Well done!
Thank you!
Outstanding Review of one of the greatest Airplane Drama Films of All Time PERIOD!!!!!
I read the novel a little while ago. good book.
Should have won Best Picture of 1970, Patton was very good but Airport was a very special film, one for the ages !!!!!
MASH was also 1970.
@@brihev4355 Very good film and was nominated for Best Picture if I remember!
Sadly, in audition to most of the cast and crew now having long passed away, other than Jacqueline Bissett, who's still going, not even the plane was spared. On the 21st of March 1989, the Boeing B707-349C registered as PT-TCS, formerly N324F, crashed in São Paulo while flying as TransBrazil Cargo Flight 801, killing 25 people, and injuring around 200 more.
Thank you very much that was really wonderful. Just forgot to mention Alain Delon the French actor in airport 77 and always love Burt Lancaster. I love him even more now. Thank you very much.
Helen Hayes earned the EGOT! and her son was "Dan-O".
She made an appearance on Hawaii Five-0 in 1975. She played Aunt Clara
And?
"Airport" is one of the all-time greatest films.
The title of "Airplane" was an obvious takoff of "Airport", but the plot, characters, and even many lines of "Airplane" were taken from "Zero Hour", not "Airport".
George Seaton got pneumonia just before everyone was about to head to Minneapolis-St. Paul for the location shoot. Henry Hathaway turned down a director's credit, saying it was a favor for his old friend, Seaton (Hathaway said he also declined a vehicle and a vacation from Universal). The interior of the main terminal at Minneapolis-St. Paul International has been redone, but that iconic exterior seen in "Airport" is very much there.
All time greatest? Lol. Idiotic and beyond ignorant
Great movie
Helen Hayes shouldn't have won that Oscar. Both she and Maureen Stapleton were nominated and honestly Maureen Stapleton was amazing and the best in the film....I still tear up when I see the scene where she realizes her husband left and is on the plane for Rome, never to be seen again. Just an amazing seen
Scene
Tear up? Lol. WTF is WRONG with you?
Man, "Concorde '79" has the greatest 1970's cast list.
They just moved everybody from The Love Boat to The Concorde.
3:03 Marion Ross on right (aisle seat)
Howcome George Kennedy was the only one cast member that went through all sequals
Why was the Chicago airport named fictional "Lincoln" and not the real name Chicago Ohare. Doesn't Chicago Ohare have real major snowstorms.
Minneapolis airport
Airport '77 (1977) = an airplane/airline that went underwater, ala "The Poseidon Adventure" (1972), which was made 5 years earlier....
Golden Age of flying. America was classier. Awesome score. We gave too much away.
Agreed 💯 percent! Now things are horrible. You fly on a Bus with ignorant people, you don't get fed there's very few direct flights and there's always something that goes wrong and it's terribly dissapointing!
But it is harder to get on a plane with a bomb.
707...
I like the cast picture, who's the guy in the front right?.. Kennedy doesn't look too happy
Front R as we look at it is Burt Lancaster who played Mel Bakersfeld, the airport's general manager.
By the 80s, if George Kennedy got on an airplane, other people asked to get off.
No airplane related movies can match up to the Airport series.
red sign said academy Awards on a Thursday!
Fantastic movie. I especially enjoyed reading reviewers comments about the film and how they panned it. The film went on to make in 2020 dollars over $700M dollars. Just goes to show you, film critics are morons who wouldn’t know a good movie even if it bit them in their collective asses.
DC-8?
Yes, but that was only at Universal Stujdios where they had to film pickup shots/re-shoots of a couple of, more or less, close-up scenes next to the fuselage. They had everything seen painted exactly as the 707 had been in Minneapolis.
Bert Lancaster supposedly hated this movie
It's discussed in the video.
That’s because Lancaster was hired on, not to do this film, but he agreed to be in it so long as the studio sanctioned the production of another he film he was genuinely interested in doing. However, his post production comments were out of line. He insulted every cast member, writer, director and film crew member with his negative opinions of movie that earned hundreds of millions in profit.
I'm surprised Jimmy Stewart wanted to be involved in that stinker.. thought the last one was an Uber stinker
I saw this recently after listening to the book. I think Dean Martin was sorely miscast
The High and the Mighty with John Wayne was better! It was made before the Jet Age!
High and the Mighty is soooo melodramatic and drawn out. Extremely dated. As well as very different from AIRPORT. AIRPORT is the superior film.
I guess we have to listen to another video of making fun of an old movie. Oh brother, how predictable and ultra boring. You ought to really explore new avenues.
The franchise got progressively more ridiculous. But the first movie is spoken with reverence and warm nostalgia, here, I think. And no one told you that you 'have to listen to it'. If you're not interested, you should follow your own advice and explore new avenues.
