CRACK IN THE WORLD (1965)

Janette Scott is one of the prettiest Dana Andrews' starlets, playing his fellow scientist wife in CRACK IN THE WORLD, in color, and in the B&W British airplane disaster NO HIGHWAY IN THE SKY she's the daughter of another neurotic scientist, James Stewart. The movie harbors two more future Dana co-stars, Niall MacGinnis from CURSE OF THE DEMON (pilot on the bottom right) and Wilfrid Hyde-White from DUEL IN THE JUNGLE. Meanwhile, in a few years, Dana would begin his own airline disaster career including ZERO HOUR, THE CROWDED SKY and AIRPORT 1975.
