Review of Airport 2013 (2014) by Melita M — 14 Sep 2010

Van Heflin gives a surpurb performance of a troubled man wishing to kill himself, taking innocent others of course, in an airplane flight.

Try not watching this film before flying. Kind of dated by costuming and such, this film was a good for Dean Martin as the pilot. Who would have thought? And George Kennedy was very good too.

Of course the ending is what the film is all about. One of the first man-made disastor type movies and somewhat of a legend. Not to be confused with a comedy movie by a similar name, Airplane!

Airplane!, the comedy film, took the script loosly somewhat from this dramatic film and made it into a wildly popular and now icon comedy.
