Slow and a little long, but nonetheless easy-going and entertaining with great characters. Burt Lancaster and Dean Martin both had a strong performances, playing charming, hard-working, traditional men who try their best to do the right thing.
Themes that touch on family life, worklife balance, love, professionalism, and ethics. All under the showcase of the aviation industry, unpacking its inner workings and examining externalities of transportation by air. Is it better to risk your job to safely clear a runway and land a plane, or is it better too submit to your bosses wishes and protect your own living? Is it better to take that high-paying job that your wife wants you to take, or do you do what you know and what makes you happy and stick to your roots?
The first hour and a half drag little bit, but the last 45 minutes or so of plane action will hold your attention. Overall, decent movie.
