Airport scales the lofty heights, 16 October 2005 Author: krorie from Van Buren, Arkansas

I recently watched "Airport" on TCM. It was the first time I had seen it in its original widescreen format since it came out in 1970. I was surprised at how well it has held up with the passage of time. ...

"Airport" was based on the popular best seller by Arthur Hailey. Although over two hours long, the movie moves and the viewer never gets bored. The stellar cast does an exceptional job with a standout performance by the legendary Helen Hayes. The ending is both happy and sad.

Who cares if it is what it was supposed to be? It is what it is.

This movie has grown rich in dead pan (P.I.) humor with the passage of time.

Lines like: "I use drive car like this for massa.. when I's alive.".

and.

"(My wife is dead, I assure you.) Approach her and satisfy yourself.".

I mean, you just can't make this stuff up. BTW, Don't mind if ah do.

This thing thinks its not a line until you put a period.

Ten lines.. hmmm.

88 lines by 44 women.

Also, check out Easy Money w/ Dangerfield and Pesci: "His entire body is bloodshot." Oh yaeh!
