George Kennedy was awesome in this movie! I was already knee deep into airplanes at the ripe old age of 7 when this came out in 1970. My dad took me to see it and I remember I couldn’t sit still due to all the airplane scenes! Fast forward 50 years... and 267 Carrier landings, one major airline job and my current job as a Sr Corporate pilot flying all over the world and I still love this movie. Still have that boyish enthusiasm for all things aviation. And I use George K’s line when he compliments his jet with the “Nice goin sweetheart”. I say that to this day and pat the instrument panel after my flights. To me these amazing machines are living breathing entities that take care of me when we bring them to life. FLY SAFE!!

There is my cousin, Jim Noah running up to Lancaster at the end, the Mr Bakersfield bit....took two weeks for weather to break in Mnpls for the sunny day they wanted for that closing scene
Sort of sad to see the look on the captain’s wife’s face as she watches him walk away. Now she has to drive home in inclement weather to wait for his eventual return and his announcement that he has a pregnant mistress in the hospital. Not a good night.
He should have been loyal to his wife. Not the pregnant mistress. Get everything out in the open and just pay child support. The mistress tried to trap him by not taking the birth control pills.
Saw this when I was twelve; it had just been released. It was exciting beyond description...much more "real" than James Bond fantasy! This ending is absolutely stunning!
"This motion picture has been brought to you as a public service by Boeing. Whenever you fly, insist on genuine Boeing equipment. Remember, if it's not Boeing, I ain't going."
Over the course of four movies and nine years he worked his way up from being the head TWA mechanic at Lincoln International Airport with license to being able to taxi planes to being the lead pilot of the Concorde. Nice work Petroni.
Love this movie when I was 7 years old. And the reason why I'm flying a B777 all over the world 53 years later. Just FYI, that B707 in the move went to Flying Tigers cargo and crashed on approach to GRU, very sad ending. The music starts in my head when I get the approach lights insight!
Patroni is why I went into the Marines and worked in international housing as an on-the-ground equipment technician in Africa and South America.. That dude just didn’t fuck around.
Thanks for the walk down memory lane.Enjoyed, I saw this movie when it first came out. It was,is a big time production. Great cast and cinematography. Loved the Priest slapping the asshole near the end. I always tell people when I fly,as a passenger ,It gives me time to catch up on my Drinking and Praying. lol, Never had anything like this.
I think you are right about (2). I only saw the film on TV many years ago, but I remember my parents laughing when Helen Hayes throws out the ticket to stowaway on the next flight.
@@ysmigraarzygler8387 That was Jessie Royce Landis in her last film role. Van Heflin was also in his last role as D.O. Guerrero. Both died within 2 years after the movie was released.
I love them all though I do think that Maureen Stapleton should have won for Best Supporting Actress. Hayes did well injecting some levity but Stapleton's performance was more nuanced in my opinion.
And Alfred Newman's score properly has the last word closing the film, along with the '69 Ford Country Sedan - sheer perfection! Unfortunately, the Airport soundtrack re-recording doesn't come close to the original here - the brass isn't blasting as the bass, and the piano hasn't been arranged to briefly pop out with the melody as here. Pretty sure the very ending (missing here, what a shame!) is slightly different too.
The soap opera snotty wife is pretty derivative of daytime soap operas- it's too bad the stowaway didn't have a run in with her just to make it more interesting.
Ahhhhh.......MSP filling in for ORD. My Grandfather worked for Braniff (note the Orange Bac111 1:47 taxing to the gate) at MSP back then and hated those "Hollywood Asses" creating havoc around the airport. I was born a year before this film went into production.
cameraman655 And the North Central Airlines DC-9 and Convair 580s At 2:11. Used to watch them at GRR when I was a kid. And are those Northwest Lockeed Electras with the Red Tails?
The whole movie Burt's too busy to go home to the wife and kids but when he has a date for breakfast with a hot young blonde it's "tell him to take care of it himself". Meanwhile Deano ditches his wife to be with stewardess he knocked up, LOL.
The reason Joe Patroni (George Kennedy) is wearing a TWA hat & coat is that the character is based on a real life TWA employee. My old man flew 30 yrs for TWA and I think he told me this.
Arthur Hailey spent five years doing research in order to write Airport, and Petroni was no doubt based on a real guy. At the airports back then (don't know if they still do) I'm sure they all wore their parent airline logo on their jumpsuits with matching ballcaps. I remember going to the airport as a kid and seeing them. I'm also sure the Lloyd Nolan Customs Inspector character was based on a real person, as was the Helen Hayes character.
I've always wondered how the Barbara Hale/Dean Martin/Jackie Bisset triangle resolved itself. The filmmakers seemed to leave it in--pardon me--mid-air. The crying sequence makes sense---they must have trimmed it for length I'll bet.
@baraxor yes i guess your right alex haley did a good job with not only the story but with making us understand all the jobs at the airport pilot.mechanic, stewardess,manager,ground crew,gate agent do you work in the aviation industry?
Boeing helped build this country, and they will continue to be important as the U.S. moves forward. A corporation this complex is going to have problems. Ask Toyota. For decades they were the paragon of quality in the automobile industry, but lately, their brand new Toyota Tundra trucks have V-8 engines that disintegrate a few months after you buy them!
In the 1970's, a film buff and critic from Atlanta, GA started the first televised syndicated film interview and critique show on PBS, several years before Siskel and Ebert did it...His name was Jim Whaley...called "Cinema Showcase" and he secured permission to use Alfred Newman's score as the show's theme.

I always thought she gave that look because the two have had a long-ass night filled with anxiety and tension and he expect her to make him breakfast. She's like "I'm exhausted, and you just want me to spend time making your ass food?" She wanted to a restaurant so she wouldn't have to cook! She knows that it was better just to give in sadly. 9/28/18
@widewiilover also so notice some company bigshot in a suite measuring the bomb hole i think it would make better sense if they had showed a mechanic doing this work
Star Burt Lancaster supposedly made a fortune off this film. His contract gave him a 10% profit participation once the movie hit $50 million. It grossed $128 million worldwide. I wonder if the studio made good or did they engage in "studio accounting" so common at the time.
Robert Rogers Yep, there’s a great scene where he brags to Bakersfeld how he got guys from other airlines to help dig out the stuck jet, only 1 of the airlines he named is still around!
Well at least now that Mel's no longer hitched up to that b**** wife of his at least he can get a little nookie now and then from his hopefully second wife Tanya Livingston hey nothing wrong with a little bouncy bouncy!
@@ysmigraarzygler8387 Also uncredited was William Boyett as the Global maintenance chief who first tried to free the stuck 707. He played Sgt. MacDonald on Adam-12. I had at first thought it was Vic Tayback, who played Mel Sharples on Alice.
The United 747 between Honolulu and New Zealand had an even huger hole in it not due to a bomb exploding but because of faulty maintenance which caused a Cargo door to break loose! Eight people were killed, and a Female Flight Attendant was nearly sucked out!
Bakersfeld made out great in the end.. gets rid of the nagging old bag he was married to, then gets to take Mrs. Livingston back to her apartment for a nice schnarlin and some scrambled eggs...Shweeeeet...
@clydesplace Well, I can understand why. She was married to a man who loved his job more than anything. She tried to understand his position and tried to help him better himself, but she couldn't. After all this time, she couldn't take it anymore. She got tired of having to take a back seat to the airport business.
Everything but the bomber and Helen Hayes storylines are '70s daytime drama at best. They could've had much more interesting subplots in the airport but once you take flight it pays off.

Boeing was only a minor player in the piston engine era. Their first big break was the B47 and B52 bombers and the KC135 tanker. Those laid much of the ground work for the 707, with which Boeing hit the jackpot. The airframes of the 727, 737, and 757 were largely derived from that of the 707. All were wide enough to seat 6 across in economy, giving them a big advantage over narrower rivals. The 747 was largely recycled from rejected plans for a USAF super transport; Lockheed won that one with the C5A, of which there was talk of a civil version in the Airport book.

She needs to hire Perry Mason for her divorce.
She probably danced & laughed all the way to her Lawyer's office knowing she can fleece him out of every penny he'll ever make ...

George Kennedy was the only actor to appear in all 4 Airport movies.('70,'75,'77 & '79)

He was most likely NTSB; he looks awfully familiar if you freeze the frame and take a good look at him.
It's "suit" (clothing). A suite is a group of rooms.
0:31 Yeah, that didn’t age well….
My thoughts exactly
Now that I look at it closely, it looks more like a Mercury wagon not a Ford ( same difference, really).
Does anyone know what kind of station wagon that is that Lancaster is driving? Been trying to find out for years!
DonaldTaft ...1969 Ford Country Sedan Station Wagon
Star Burt Lancaster supposedly made a fortune off this film. His contract gave him a 10% profit participation once the movie hit $50 million. It grossed $128 million worldwide. I wonder if the studio made good or did they engage in "studio accounting" so common at the time.
did anyone notice joe petronis shirt and hat have the TWA logo on them?
Robert Rogers Yep, there’s a great scene where he brags to Bakersfeld how he got guys from other airlines to help dig out the stuck jet, only 1 of the airlines he named is still around!
He made the point early on that with mechanics, they ALL come running when someone is in trouble - doesn't matter which airline they're with.
That plane had a hole similar to this flower like perforation on the side of the cabin.
Back when Boeing was universally considered the crème de la crème - and Douglas was right there behind them.
