ZERO HOUR

Fri Aug 26, 2011 5:22 pm

Set your DVR's for TCM @ 0300 to 0430 Saturday Morning 8/27/11 (PDT check your listings) if you want to see where the idea and most of the Lloyd Bridges lines, for AIRPLANE' came from Dana Andrews and Sterling Hayden- :lol:

Thanks for the heads up!
I've seen it before, but I've been wanting to show it to a few people side by side with Airplane!

Just caught the end of it- amazing how close Airplane made some of the scenes and dialog to this movie, even the characters names. Brilliant.

Definatly worth watching again.

I keep the thought of this comparison in the back of my mind when I hear politicians (any of them!) spout off, with just a small tweek in timing........... :lol: Thanx Chris!!
