Title: The Hindenbomb
Product review: If you're expecting a (real-life based) disaster movie full of thrills and suspense, forget it. This pic is a great big lead balloon. Directed by Robert Wise ("The Sound of Music". "West Side Story", "I Want to Live") we could have hoped for more. Someone should chop off the screenwriter's hand as this is deadeningly boring. Even the great George C. Scott and Anne Bancroft cannot breathe life into soap opera cardboard cutout characters, desite ther talent and charisma. A wonderful supporting cast including the always excellent Burgess Meredith and also William Atherton, Richard Dysart and others make little impression in thankless roles. This interminable turkey would have been better if the dirigible had burst into flames during the opening credits, along with the script.
