mOOpIG mOVIE rEVIEWS -- Airport 1970

Before there was Terrorism -- there was good old Melo-Drama
by Pat Darnell

AIRPORT 1970 starring Burt Lancaster had it all figured out long before it happened. Just go out and rent it, and sit back and have an Epiphany of sorts. It is a pre-quel to all the airplane stuff since... like bombings, divorces, stowaways, hostage taking, slavery, philandering, Nip\tuck, Captain Picard.... oh mercy -- the list goes on forever.

That's a good Idea -- Use the following check list of things that have come true since this film premiered, New York opening: 5 Mar 1970 ::

__ Cindy, wants a divorce

__ Mel Bakersfeld ............Burt Lancaster "Don't talk to me about consequences! When Congress voted to cut airport appropriations, you never even sent in a letter of protest. And where were you when the airlines and the pilots and the rest of us were... were pleading for... for more airports and better traffic control? You were picking out the colors in the ladies' lounge. So now you've got your consequences!"

__ Joe Patroni ............George Kennedy "I'll be back in time if I have to pull that plane out with my teeth!"
