Review of Airport 1975 (1974) by Bill T — 19 Jul 2009

I have so much guilty pleasure for this movie I could almost squeal. This movie, which I rate just because I love it so much that how can I not rate it lower teases me with so much ridiculousness I never know where to begin.

.. Let's see, Karen Black's cross eyed stewardessness? Gloria Swanson as Gloria Swanson? Erik Estrada as a co-pilot? What about Linda Blair as yes, the liver transplant donor and Helen Reddy as the nun who cheers her up? As a matter of fact, the beginning of the saga, you know the desperate phone call to the airport from the donor clinic is almost lifted intact into the movie Airplane! Just plain awesome.
