TCM: "Airplane" "Zero Hour" and "The Crowded Sky" Tonight!
I love it!
Tonight on Turner Classic Movies: They not only air the classic air
disaster parody "Airplane" but the film that inspired it, as well as
another early "plane in trouble" picture!
First up it is "The Crowded Sky," a classic featuring Dana Andrews on
a propeller airliner in trouble in the days when jets and props shared
a crowded sky!
Then up, the Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker classic "Airplane" with RObert
Hays trying to conquer his fears and save the say on a stricken
jetliner.
Last up? The movie that inspired the writers of "Airplane" itself, the
air disaster film "Zero Hour."
All three air back-to-back-to-back tonight!
Yes, I am serious! (And don't call me Shirley.)
