Jet Over the Atlantic

Jet Over the Atlantic also known as High Over the Atlantic is a 1959 drama film directed by Byron Haskin and stars Guy Madison, Virginia Mayo, and George Raft. The films title was misleading as the airliner was a Bristol Britannia turbopropengined, not pure jetpowered aircraft. Note George Rafts biographer Everett Aaker called Jet Over the Atlantic a precursor of the disaster genre.

He must make an emergency landing on water and without a radio, which Leverett has damaged.

Authorities on the ground inform Stafford that another man is being charged with the bar murder and Brett will be cleared. ........
