Everything you ever wanted to know about air travel

Leslie Nielsen has been around for a long time and in many roles before striking out on a comedy road. This is but one story. However, it was a turning point for him from the leading man in "Forbidden Planet” (1956), to a serious doctor in” Airplane!” (1980), to a Field Guide in "National Geographic's The Savage Garden” with Leslie Nielsen (1997) “Airplane!” has a great cast, including Robert Stack (playing himself), Lloyd Bridges (glub, glub), and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (just as defensive as ever). This movie is unique. It is the first; I have seen displaying one-liners with serious intent. It was not just slapstick or Abbott and Costello. This particular film uses the “Airport” movies as the basis of most of its humor. It worked well enough for sequels and other films to be made in the new genre. I keep it with the Leslie Nielsen Collection. Speaking of Leslie, do not miss the Naked Gun series.
