This is one of the most obscure movies with a notable cast I know of, and it deserves much better. It has one of Heston's better, less pretentious roles, was right at the start of Basinger's career, and John Marley's Elijah is very memorable. It starts with some incredibly beautiful flying sequences staged in British Columbia, which ends in a spectacular unscripted actual plane crash. This is another link in the lore of the lure for Gold--a resurgent siren of late.
