Jimmy Stewart once again proves himself one of the all-time greats, as I cannot imagine any other actor making his role work. Marlene Dietrich is wonderfully subtle and elegant.Fast-paced and really intelligent. Great acting beyond the leads, too - the captain is terrific, ditto Glynis Johns who looks exactly like Jane Wyman and sounds exactly like Jean Arthur.

Probably the most entertaining of the serious airplane movies. Good acting by all involved, with Jimmy Stewart in his geekiest role. Glynis Johns is great as the stewardess, and Marlene is the picture of elegance as--what else?--a famous Holywood star.
