    • Trivia
      This low budget film uses stock shots of the aircraft in flight. However, during the flight, the aircraft magically changes to various models of the Douglas DC series.
    • Goofs
      When Tom and Marcia are having a drink in the lounge, close-ups show neither glass has ice cubes. When Tom places his nearly empty glass on the table, you hear the sound of ice cubes rattling in an empty glass.
    • Quotes

      Dr. Carl Morris: You're out of your mind.

      Walter Cooper: No! Don't say that to me! I've never let anyone say that to me. Not even the doctors in the hospital.

    Much Better Than The Usual 60's Sci-Fi Fare
    A bit slow and preachy, but an interesting tale well worth watching...Actually a more than decent script considering it was shot back in 1961...Second act drags but when they get into the third you sit up and take notice...Don't want to tell all the tale...You'll enjoy watching this yourself...So much junk was produced in this era, it is nice to see something of this quality was shot and produced by Hollywood...The only strange thing is the lost of several international flights lately and how some actually refer to this movie about that situation...All I know is that if I owned the rights to this flick I would mount a minor ad campaign to tie-in with those recent events and sell more copies of "The Flight That Disappeared"...Buckle up and enjoy the ride!
