Ford is a flight director for a commercial airline who personally investigates a crash that killed 53 people. The pilot of the plane (Taylor) was a wartime friend and, knowing he was one of the best, Ford sets out to clear his name. With the surviving stewardess, Pleshette, he re-enacts the fatal crash and discovers that a short circuit caused the disaster. Director Nelson uses flashbacks well to develop the character of the dead pilot and events leading to the crash. Pleshette overacts as usual, but Ford is terrific. Krasner received an Oscar nomination for his cinematography. leave a comment
