"...... and don't call me Shirley!"
"Airplane" is one of the few movies I make an attempt to watch on DVD every year.
It's what I call a classic.
Until recently, I had always thought that it was an original script. Not so.
My wifey is Turner Classic Movie fan, and I recently watched a 1957 movie called ,
"Zero Hour". A very bad, low budget disaster film. However, the entire script, story and dialog <minus the comic inserts>, is repeated in the movie
"Airplane". The whole cast is there and the wife and I added the "Airplane Zingers" to the back side of this 1957 drama presentation. The dialog even contains the phase ....
"I picked the wrong week to quit smoking. LOL
Check it out if you get the chance ..... a really dud movie until you make the connection.
