The least entertaining (even in a cheezy way) of the Airport disaster ilk. The star-studded cast seems to realize what a turkey they’re in, but mad cheers to Olivia de Havilland, Christopher Lee, Lee Grant, and Darren McGavin for making the most of it. Grant in particular really chews up the scenery here. Everyone else in the cast, including Jimmy Stewart, Jack Lemmon, Joseph Cotten, and Brenda Vaccaro, seem a little tired… kinda like the plot. This entry is like a cross between Airport and The Poseidon Adventure, with the plane crashing in (curiously) shallow water in the middle of the ocean.
