En-Route
Well, it's a bit of an aviation movie or perhaps a disaster movie from 1951.
No Highway in the Sky
...with James Stewart, Marlene Dietrich and Glynis Johns.
Stewart plays an absent minded yet loveable engineer who determines that the fictional "Reindeer" airliner will crash due to metal fatigue in the tail after n-hours of flight. I thought this was some kind of fictional account of what happened to the Comet but the movie predated the Comet's fatigue problem by 5 or 6 years (?!).
Not a great movie or aviation must see but entertaining nonetheless. It is playing on TWC on Free Movies on Demand under FXM retro.
