Zero Hour! (1957)

Hall Bartlett

In this gripping, seminal aviation melodrama, a former World War II pilot must overcome his neuroses about flying and land an airplane. Trouble strikes when the pilot and crew of a Canadian passenger plane suddenly become ill from food poisoning. The only person on board who can save everyone is a former ace who is petrified of flying again. Fortunately, a courageous, steel-nerved ground controller provides radio support. Novelist Arthur Hailey wrote the script.

After a few dances, they hit it off, but when she meets his mother and his slacker friends, they are nasty and hostile, and Marty doesn't return her phone call. But finally, at a bar with his friends, realizes he needs to live for himself, and rekindles the romance.

Star Spangled Girl

Jerry Paris

A laugh-spangled comedy from Neil Simon! Make love, not war... and tell a lot of jokes! Based on the stage success by Neil Simon (The Odd Couple, The Goodbye Girl), Star Spangled Girl is a boys-meet-girl romantic romp that tosses a bouquet of one-liners at the flower power era. The girl is Sandy Duncan (The Hogan Family). The boys are Tony Roberts (Annie Hall) and Todd Susman (Newhart). She - red, white and blue and funny all over - is an aspiring Olympic swimmer. They are the poison pens of a Los Angeles underground newspaper. The three are opposites doomed to attract. And, as usual in a Simon comedy, opposites don't merely attract - they hilariously collide. So, let the fun begin. Simon says laugh!
