"I'd say the Landmark Of my

involving the murder Of a de-

was killed while questioning two
convicts in the street. There was
an exchange of gunfire and a
traffic policeman tried to help
the detective. However. a bullet
from the policeman's gun shot

law that the two convicts had
provoked the action and were
responsible for the murder.

 The dramatic story takes place within a period of 12 hours. The crew and passengers are intro duced as they prepare to board plane in Honolulu. Halfway through the flight an emergency arises which unmasks the emo tions and true characters of them all.
 The backgrounds for the film are reportedly authentic as cam era crews were sent from Holly wood to Waikiki Beach, San Francisco and Oakland Airports for scenes. One special crew flew 800 miles to keep a date with a storm. Scenes of an electrical storm were needed and with the emphasis ..on ..realisin, director Wellman dispatched a flying cam era crew when the weather bu- reau notified him of a particu- larly photogenic groups of cum- ulo-nimbus storm clouds.
