I love this movie under any title. My wife and I watched it. I haven’t seen it since I was a kid and this was her first time to see it! She loved the movie as much as I did. Thank you for sharing it with us.

The first time I saw this movie I was a little kid watching it on a 9” Admiral tv. Now I’m 69 years old and watching it on my phone with a 2” screen. Progress.

Fantastically beautiful film. Obviously the script has some absurdities and sentimentalities, but that's all blown away by the quality and power of the images. It is really extraordinary and it's a privilege to be able to see it, as I had never even heard of it before. Buried treasure.

At 75, I sure am glad great, old movies are shown on KZfaq. So many really good stories, good to great directing, casting and acting with no garbage talk or vulgarity. Thank you, Eternal Picture Show for this one!!😊

A movie to watch and re-watch: vision perfect, cast exceptional, the plot keeps one glued till the end. And.... Suzanne Pleshette is as classy as ever.

Fate Is The Hunter: one of my favorite films.

This is an excellent film I saw it when it was released in the mid 60’s. I was a huge fan of Glenn Ford’s films. I was surprised and a little disappointed when I realized it in Black and White until I got totally wrapped up in the story and the acting.

Ah yes, the days of height, age , and weight limits for stewardesses. 😅

Glen Ford, love him. Another underrated Hollywood-Golden era actor.

It’s 1964. We had 3 or 4 jet airliners in the skies (DC-8, 707, Comet). The airplane looks like a “strange duck “ so as not to offend any specific manufacturer.

Suzanne Pleshette, got to be my all time heartthrob.

Glenn Ford the original Mr Cool and Rod was very cool hisself

Rod Taylor was one of the most gorgeous looking guys in the world. Thanks for this upload you guys and love from all of us on Staten Island, New York.

Great watching a movie that doesn't have obnoxious music.

Good aviation flick. written by the master of flying movies. Ernest K. Gann. Check out his numerous novels about flying. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 It was good to see Glenn Ford again, and Suzanne Pleshette. Thanks for posting. The plane used in the movie was a pretty funky looking jet, but the jet age hadn't been around very long when the movie was produced, and Hollywood came up with a strange duck.

Fate Is The Hunter (1964) is the actual title. 🤩 I enjoyed this movie. Thanks for the upload.

I saw this film as a very young kid and always remembered it as "the coffee cup movie". Thanks for bringing back a some great cinema memories!

Will never ever see actors like this again.

I've always loved this movie. Thanks for posting. Back when we had some decent actors and great movies. Good cast in this film.

This is Fate Is The Hunter, not Flight of Shadow.

Excellent movie. Beautiful cinematography. Wonderful acting. Unusual plot. I highly recommend it.

Omg this is the nicest print of this classic aviation film. Glenn Ford at his finest. Left me a little nonplussed when i saw this at a saturday matinee as a kiid. Pretty exciting suspenseful film.

The "Consolidated Airways" jet aircraft used in the film, called "Blue Ribbon", was one of two fabricated from DC-7(B) donors, the second used to create the crash scene on the beach. The wings were reportedly removed and reversed, and a Boeing 707 nose cone along with "supersonic spike" were also added in order to achieve the appearance of a modern jet airliner. Modifications to the rear section of the aircraft included the addition of two nacelles to accommodate the simulated jet engines. A rear-mounted Boeing 707 spike-styled HF antenna isolator and antenna were added to the tail section.

Yes, should hav the correct movie title but the importance is the quality of the flick. Terrific well thought out story, gr8 acting, gr8 script. Wonderful dedication of a friend. Yes,all about FATE. Thx UT❤

What a cast. Wow.

Fate is the Hunter... Practically like Sully landing in the Hudson but successfully, re-enacted in movie w/ Tom Hanks...Both good movies.

I saw this film when it first came out. I still love it, & It had a great cast, Sad to say almost all the main actors & actresses are dead. Except Maybe Nancy Khan. Later years I found out about the making of this Movie 🎬 FATE IS THE HUNTER After I Read The book by ERNEST K GANN LIKE A LOT OF HOLLYWOOD MOVIES, THEY INVENT A SCRIPT WITH MAYBE A COUPLE OF SENTENCES, FROM THE BOOK. ABOUT HALF WAY THROUGH THE FILMING OF THIS MOVIE, ERNST GANN WALKED OFF THE SET HE WAS SO DISCUSTED WITH IT ALL. HE HAD HIS NAME REMOVED FROM THE CREDITS. JUST LEFT ON WHO WROTE THE NOVEL, THE MOVIE WAS BASED ON. NO DC - 2S OR DC- 3S OR ANY OTHER REAL AIRCRAFT THAT WAS USED IN THE AIR TRANSPORT COMMAND OF THE AAF I STILL LOVE THIS MOVIE REGARDLESS, BUT IT'S A FORERUNNER IN A SMALL WAY TO 1970'S AIRPORT. ERNEST K GANN WROTE GRAND BOOKS ON AVIATION, ISLAND IN THE SKY , THE HIGH & THE MIGHTY, BAND OF BROTHERS, AS WELL AS ADVENTURE NOVELS, SOLIDER OF FORTUNE & MASADA. BUT THIS FATE IS THE HUNTER 🎬 MOVIE IS NOT ENTIRELY BY THE NOVEL. THE SOUNDTRACK IS STILL AWESOME ! THE LONELY HORN & THE AERIL MELODIES & FAINT CHOIR IN THE BACKGROUND GOES WELL , WITH THE MOVIE.

This is a very good film with a great cast. I was planning on it lulling me to sleep. Nope. I prefer the older films. Less of the lurid and more story and character development. You'll come to like the characters in this story very much. I highly recommend. My oldest sister was a flight attendant for nearly 50 years. She turned 21 in stew school. Me, 13 years younger, was so proud of her! Still am. She's in rehab after knee surgery at the moment. Send healing thoughts! Her fave flights were the special ones carrying Gulf War troops to and from our bases in Germany.

Awesome movie. Thanks.

Excellent film, slowly unfolds as we judge and then reassess the character of the pilot , well worth watching.

Aircraft based on the Douglas DC4. Good film👍

Ernest Ganns autobiography " Fate is the Hunter " is the finest book on aviation that I have ever read , and I have read hundreds in the last 75 years. Cabin staff entering the flight deck and being chummy with the pilots has caused a number of fatal accidents , especially at the time the pilots should be doing take off check lists. Rod Taylors character would have had his license revoked long before sitting in the Captains seat of a Jet Liner.

Title if wrong. This is Fate is the Hunter

What a nice find. Love Glenn Ford, Rod Taylor. Let's not forget kwan and Pleshette. Had to go back again and see the coffee cup was the culprit. But, confused as they should have known when they open this compartment nothing but import wires were located there. I think they call it negligence. The airline is responsible for this crash. Can anyone say settle with the families.

BEFORE BURT LANCASTER AIRPORT 1970 THERE WAS GLENN FORD FATE IS THE HUNTER 1964 !!!!!

As a pilot, I find this movie absurd.

So many stereotypes in the first five minutes!! I love it!!!

60 years later and I find the scene, just before the titles, of the plane hitting the pier, still looks super realistic. Of course, all of the bodies and most of the plane debris is not present.

How about the aircraft though? I know that none existed, it would be fun to hear how it was conjoured up. When ever I get a little nervous around others, I always whistle a tune like Rod Taylor.

Engines mounted on the horizontal stabilizers. No, I don't think that would fly.

This is like the groundwork for the NTSB.

SUSAN PLESHETTE. VERY good movie.

I may start adding a comment a day on this, my favorite. Today’s: What Captain would ever wait till the actual runway to close and lock his window? Even back then in the 60s! LOL

Square windows, rocket startup. Recipe for disaster

That was excellent . Thanks for sharing.😊

Happened for real in April 2015

The Crew Cabin made it without a scratch...

With that interval between jumpers, considering speed, altitude, and terrain😮😮

Jane Russell in one of her last films. Constance Towers had been in The Horse Soldiers of John Ford, and Robert F. Simon in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, also of John Ford. Obviously, besides Glenn Ford and the Australian Rod Taylor.

Glenn ford I liked him a great actor a good film

Very good movie thank you.🇬🇧

Reminds me of the The Ventures playing the instrumental of Walk don’t Run. In the late sixties when it had been so popular. 😊😊😊

They would have moved all three planes out of final in order to handle the emergency.

This movie is NOT an English movie! It IS called Fate Is the Hunter (1964)

Rod Taylor,-born in Lidcombe,-Sydney-Australia My home town!!--there was no "bull-shit"-about Rod,-he was a real "mans-man"--any other Aussies watching="He-was "fair-dinkum"-they'll know what I mean !!--I know-this movie as "Fate-is the hunter"-!!

Mary Wickes as the landlady was semi-prescious.

Very thoughtful movie!!!❤❤

Glen Ford another Gem 💎 WOW 🎬 Excellent actors co-starring 👏 Drama about to unfold break out the popcorn in for a bumpy journey 😮

I’m retired Navy. Knew guys like this, cocky, full of themselves but always found a way to win. Either with work or women.

All those people died so we'd have a movie to watch

No cup holders 😂

Wonderful movie. Thank you.

Way too many commercials !!!

As my wife always states when watching an airplane movie: it’s Hollywood!!!! 1) coffee cup on the mid console during takeoff. 2) rotating before VR and V1 call. 3) no memory items on engine fire. 4) no confirmation of fire out or bottle discharge. 5) no mayday call. 6) engine fire takes priority over normal inbound aircraft. They get the hold, the engine fire gets priority. And we are only 8:06 into the movie!!! Sorry honey, lets watch 48 hours instead. Oh, and why has the 1st officer still got his tunic on??? Thats why people think that when an aircraft loses its engines it goes into a death dive. But enjoy the acting, Suzanne Pleschette is a KNOCK OUT!!

Fate is the Hunter, is a great book.

Condor flightDE- 2116 had this same problem IRL

This is one of the great movies that is forgotten today. I saw it when it was released & it’s finally out on Blu Ray. Look on YT for the theme song & the song Fate is The Hunter as a vocal as well. Jerry Goldsmith’s great score.

Please up load the other Shadow Flight where Charlton Heston plays Judah pretty please

Thanks

One of my favorite films Ron Taylor is the sexiest man alive. Thanks for the upload you guys love from all of us on Staten Island, New York.

Two “The Birds” alumnus reunited. Fast forward to 2024 Boeing’s “fate”

Excellent.

The name of this movie is Fate is the Hunter

That was not the title.

Great movie. To me that aircraft looks a disaster waiting to happen. Was my feeling the first time I saw the movie. The alarm sounded like a fire station alarm. Taylor looked like he was driving a car.

After her very traumatic experience, she met, fell in love with, and married a psychiatrist. Not sure if she ever actually did start wearing more sweaters.

good work

Great movie.

Thanks for posting

this is what happens when stars and money get in the way of a really good movie. I gave up.

Hard to sell a movie in which the protagonist is angry, 3/4 of the time. But still engrossing.

Poor sfx but great acting. Super movie, very enjoyable.

Simple solution is to have a box cover without a seam .

The movie should be judged on the interpersonal humanity of the story, which was very good, not the plausibility of the technical issues.

Fate is the Hunter....Love Gann

And Susann just had a bandaid in a fireball. Yeah, that's beleivable!!

Having the jet engines mounted directly under the tail plane would seriously compromise the elevator's effectiveness in controlling pitch, surely? I suspect it was this design flaw that caused the accident, not hot cup of coffee.

Writers , entertaining.

Here’s my daily comment on “FITH”. On takeoff, there was no commanded “V1” (go, no go), and a silent V2, during which “rotate” should have been stated. It’s such easy airliner talk. Why was it missed? I’ll have to double check re who was the film’s technical advisor.

Suzanne Pleshette - Class all the way

Ok, here’s today’s comment: There’s a whole “corporate infighting” subplot re who’s moving up to company President, McBane or Sawyer! This runs up till near the very end of the movie, with each guy firmly defending “his turf”! Sing it with me folks: “Blue Moon, you saw me standing there alone…” ba, ba, ba, ba! LOL

Why do people insist on uploading movies and changing the name? That is more of a copyright violation than just posting the original video as released. The aircraft used in this movie is not a real aircraft. I have never seen a commercial aircraft with the engines mounted on the horizontal tail planes. All aircraft with rear-mounted engines had t-tails.

This movie must have been made before they invented acting

And it’s just a small part of the original book.

Wrong title … galling. 🤬. Incredibly unrealistic circumstances immediately following the crash, even for a movie. Just not credible.

The name is, Fate is the hunter.

5:00 it’s Mrs. Newhart!

1:26:34 - takes picture of McBain's ear, just in case it'll come in useful.

Proof coffee is bad for you.

Great movie put all the pieces of the puzzle go deeper than surface not fate not what ever the error the coffee cup spill part of puzzle did show spilt over Frank R Wallace he was the Scientist who created what later became value production to cabin baggage full enclosure &in this movie showed packed in deep open compartments also no liquid in the cockpit like in movie it took one man to go deeper to produce the surface mistake 😉 Great investigation unsolved the fate senario also other mystic concoction at Surface errors srt8 away blame pilot 🙄 Good true friend's came forward not many but what was created illusions reputation cleanup get to the factualityl❤ Brilliant 😮 Thank U Mr Ford 👏 a 10
