Next I watched ZERO HOUR! I had never seen this film, and, oh boy, did AIRPLANE! take every situation in it and play it for all it was worth.
AIRPLANE! aside, I enjoyed the melodrama of the film, and the transfer looks very nice. Sharp, anamorphic, with just a couple of stray scratches.
One irritation. I was heartened to see my beloved John Ashley's name in the credits. Imagine my utter dismay when he turns up as an Elvis-type singer on a TV in the background of a scene.
