Ah the good old days. 1972. People smoking cigarettes and pipes on planes, pregnant women drinking bloody Mary's, and has been movie actors having bad TV movies to pay their SAG dues.
Every person in the cockpit is wearing a wig - and they are all male. The good news is this is one of the few films in middle age where Chuck Heston kept his clothes on.
The result is no better or worse than most of the airport and 1970s disaster movies. There seems to be less camp moments.
The cast includes Susan Dey fresh off Partridge Family, Rosie Grier, James Brolin during his Marcus Welby hiatus, the beautiful and talented Jeanne Crain (who gave up acting after this stinker), perennial starlet Yvette Mimeux and screen great Walter Pidgeon given 18th billing.
