THE CONCORDE: AIRPORT '79 (1979). This was on the same disc as AIRPORT '77 and checked it out yesterday to see if it's as awful as it supposed to be. It's quite bad with such a flabby script that has more of a sleazy air to it (especially in scenes involving George Kennedy
) than previous installments. As per the rest, the cast is the reason to watch it, but too much "Comic" relief from Jimmie Walker, Martha Raye. John Davidson and Charo and endless repeats of the same scene wear thin quick. And, for the life of Me, can't picture Eddie Albert (GREEN ACRES) and Sybil Danning
) as Husband and Wife
!
After lousy opening, it was billed as a Comedy, because it's just too silly and can't be taken seriously. Almost a precursor of 1980's AIRPLANE! **
