The High and the Mighty (1954)

Synopsis: A flight from Honolulu to San Francisco has engine trouble.
Appraisal: This film is so stupid that at times it almost comes across as a parody in the style of 'Airplane'. It's almost an insult to our intelligence to make characters behave so absurdly, and utter lines so unbelievably corny. What's even more amazing is that everything is made with such an energy and enthusiasm as to endow the film with a certain camp value. Not much, though; just enough to lift it from complete worthlessness.
Rating: 12
