An entertaining "B Movie"

Never in any danger of winning any awards but an enjoyable period piece from which seems to be a different planet just sixty plus years ago.

An unusual plot which was possibly the first time a plot like this had been used, some plots are far from being new of course with just a rehash of an old plot.

Few reviews for it so far but it's very well worthwhile watching. John Junkin appears briefly but most, if not all, of his film appearances are brief. The practically absent airport security will come as a surprise to younger viewers but before "9/11" US airport security was similarly non existent.
