Airport

Airport (1970) starring Burt Lancaster, Dean Martin, George Kennedy, Helen Hayes, Jean Seberg, Jacqueline Bisset, Van Heflin.  Somewhat soap-operaish tale of airport socked in by snow and heroic efforts of airport boss (Lancaster) and others to clear a runway blocked by a plane that turned too soon. Also features a man (Heflin) with a bomb who hopes to collect on flight insurance so that his wife will be set for life. Hayes is a delight as a little old lady who makes a habit of stowing away on flights so that she can see her daughter, who lives in a distant city. (Subtitles for the hearing-impaired are available, but not closed captions.) Grade: B
