This is an excellent deal. Four movies on DVD for the price of one
new release. The First Airport movie was originally released in 1970,
and raked in over $100 million at the US box office. It then set the
stage for more box office hits in the Airport series. The cast
included: Burt Lancaster, Dean Martin and Jacqueline Bisset. Helen
Hayes won the Academy Award for best supporting actress, for her part
in the film.
Airport '75 featured Charlton Heston, Gloria
Swanson (in her last film role), Linda Blair, and Helen Reddy as the
singing nun. Karen Black plays the part of a Stewardess that has to
fly the plane after the pilots are incapacitated by the airline's
mid-air collision with a private plane.
Keeping the all-star
cast tradition, Airport '77 included screen legends James Stewart and
Olivia de Havilland. Christopher Lee, Lee Grant and Jack Lemmon
didn't hurt the production any either. The last one in the series,
Airport '79, was not as good as its predecessors but still a good
movie just the same. So, considering the price and the quality of the
first three, the four DVD set is quite the value. |
