NYT 1000 movies list. A fantastic character study of what people would do stuck in a plane that will crash. Although a bit cheesy at times, it still is original and entertained. Saw on Pluto.

It is interesting from a was this the way flying was. Plan was pretty empty, guy pulls out a pistol and another passenger takes it away and holds it for him. Movie suffers greatly from pacing issues it is 45 minutes too long. You kind of wish they would crash just to shorten the movie.

Absurd story line with the characters, including big names, acting for the camera instead of from within themselves. Consider the premise of a DC6 flying at only 9,000 feet over the Pacific, and this is before the engine malfunction. The set was as untrustworthy as the engine, with critical parts such as the cockpit visibly wobbling as the actors moved about, and this was also before the engine issue. At minimum they could have used a cutaway of an actual DC6, which was already obsolete in 1954. But here comes a kudo for the Duke. John Wayne looks and acts like the legend he was. As for the other cast members, their acting was as wooden as the set.
