Airport (Movie review)

Vernon Demerest and Gwen Meighen (Dean Martin and Jacqueline Bisset)

This is the movie that started it… The trend of the 1970s disaster movies. It was at the time when the Boeing 707 was king of the airports, and a lot of drama and an all-start cast made movies great. This is what Airport, based on Arthur Hailey’s excellent novel of the same name, is all about.
