Honestly, the story isn’t anything that couldn’t be fixed with a good re-write or two – especially good would be the removal of the material in the cockpit where the co-pilot and head stewardess seem to be setting up a date or something, which add nothing to the story except some time to look at the ultra-un-detailed set – plus some heavier use of acting instead of talking. Even allowing for this actually being shot in 1956 (and not released for three years) when The Blob, The Day the Earth Stood Still, and War of the Worlds were not yet seen as “here’s how to do it, boys”, this has far too much talking and not enough doing things. “They tried really hard” and “they meant well” is probably the best one can say about them. Awful? Run-away from level of ugly? Interesting from a standpoint of road accident? No. Not at all. Well-made film? No. Not at all. The uniforms were very realistic, however.
