They didn't really need to make Airplane - this is it already.
Surely a contender for the so-bad-it's-good movie of the year.
Really bad dialogue - Don Ingalls is the credited *writer*. Badly directed and edited.
And, an extremely eclectic cast. Karen Black, Charlton Heston, George Kennedy, Effrem Zimbalist Jr., Susan Clark, Helen Reddy, Linda Blair, Dana Andrews, Roy Thinnes, Sid Caesar, Myrna Loy, Gloria Swanson (somehow looking younger than she did in Sunset Boulevard!) and Nancy Olson (also from that film).
First saw it on 21 July 1975. Thought it was 'suspenseful' and had 'good colour photography'! (Philip Lathrop.)
