Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

Flying to Labrador to investigate an air crash, scientist Jimmy Stewart works out that the plane he is travelling in (with Dietrich as a glamorous fellow-passenger) is due to disintegrate at any minute. The drama (based on Nevil Shute's novel) strains credibility; but sly comic touches from the leads effectively give us a nod and a wink, while Koster milks the suspense for all it's worth.
