Ah! The large and tasty time of disaster movies, some were really catastrophic in the most literal sense of the word.
"AIRPORT" (1970) directed by George Seaton and Henry Hathaway (for winter scenes) is a pioneer in the genre. He will be diverted elsewhere (for a plane, it's unfortunately what can happen) by the ZAZ brothers for their famous "Is there a pilot in the aircraft?".
The event will unintentionally comic, snowstorm, stranded plane, stowaway and Human Bomb ...
Y has what to do, especially when it BURT LANCASTER that sticks to the top of the poster, which, in addition to all this gay brothel, is facing a wife who wants a divorce. In
skin Airport Manager Mel BAKERSFELD (BURT) treats us to set pieces such as answering two phones simultaneously eating a sandwich Airport (worse than SNCF) attempting to reason with a stowaway septuagenarian unglazed and humorous, ADA Quonset (Bravo Miss HELEN HAYES, who alone saves the film from the catalytic ...).
The rest of the time our shit BURT is a max hanging around outside the airport looking JOE BOSS (George Kennedy) the mechano-loudmouth make toy history with Boeing.
He does not even notice (except in the end, when he has time to lay the suitcase he had before him, the friend BURT) as his assistant, TANYA LIVINGSTON (Jean Seberg's always delicious, has crush on him ... FINALLY ...
And there is the dashing captain of the air, VERNON DEMEREST (DEAN MARTIN) that puts the Thunderbirds are stupid, because he must be stuck with the bulk of the work, namely his wife to hide the connection he has with a stewardess (Jacqueline Bisset), he put pregnant, then he will face the villain of the story, DO Guerrero (played by Van Heflin, but it looks like it's not him because he looks like Peter Lorre in this film, yet it's him, you follow me??) the famous man with the bomb ...
It is so overbooked, poor Dino, he may not even be slipped between a Martini 2 shots (head).
And there are also many guests, as Whit Bissell (The Time), Paul Picerni (The Untouchables) or GARY COLLINS (The 6th sense) ...
Oh, by the way, the movie ends well, and the tasty final dialogue extolling the merits of Boeing's resistance to the problems sounds like a giant PUB 2:17 (that long .......... ) on the U.S. aviation giant, thank you UNCLE SAM!
