This was obviously supposed to be a pilot about a pilot.Okay, let me rephrase that.
Released in cinemas in Australia in 1970 this flying low drama is quite a good film. A strong cast of Universal stalwarts: Bridges, Meeker, Francis, Prine and even Billy Dee Williams see LOST FLIGHT offer solid performances with believable interaction.
I saw this film a long time ago. It was an NBC Movie of The Week in 1969(and repeated in 1970) and wound up on many "Movie for a Saturday Afternoon"'s on UHF stations through the 70's subsequently.
Contains spoilers I have never forgotten this movie although I was just a kid when it came out and it probably hasn't been shown again in years. You'd think with the "Survivor" craze, perahps this movie could be resurrected.
This film was a pretty interesting concept and probably was intended to become a regular series. Interestingly enough, it came out the same year as Rod Serling's similarly themed series "The New People".
