Leave your thoughts about The High and the Mighty.
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyA forerunner of the disaster movies, this cliche John Wayne blockbuster could be described as Grand Hotel in the Air. |
| Filmcritic.comChristopher NullThe best twists that the movie can muster are a few miscalculations that the navigator makes -- he uses knots instead of miles in his fuel consumption math. Uh oh! |
| Cinema em CenaPablo VillaçaOcasionalmente promissor, acaba sendo prejudicado por sua narrativa lenta e por sua duração excessiva. |
| User ReviewWill Wahhh, one of his greats, and just recently put on DVD. totally worth it to go and get. the way that it went about introducing every character to you, and then show what really happens to them during an intense event is epic |
| User ReviewJohn YA suspense film that only the 1950's can bring you. |
| User ReviewBenjamin DThis is the ORIGINAL airline disaster flick, a great film and I am glad it is finally on DVD after all these years (when you could only see it in late night broadcast television). |
| User Reviewjim fThe film that spawned Airplane and others |
| User ReviewDanny SWayne was and still is a very good and entertaining actor. |
| User ReviewKen SAhead of it's time then, but dated now, but thats what makes it such a unique viewing experience. I mean really, Hawaii was not even a state. How cool is that!!! |
| User ReviewChris WA great film that I watch every year. Love John Wayne in this role. |
