It has an impact and I hated how it ended, though, it couldn’t have ended any other way. It just left you wanting more.ConnieShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03064633293734568135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8762075.post-87255490781030401672020-04-05T02:36:44.388-07:002020-04-05T02:36:44.388-07:00Brilliant 1977 thriller!

They had other limits, too: apparently they also specified that no one should be actually harmed by the blimp, and that the bad guy shouldn't be a regular pilot of theirs, just someone they use from time to time. It's kinda remarkable they allowed their blimp to be used at all!<br /><br />Interestingly enough, in the book it's called the Aldrich blimp; presumedly Harris didn't even bother contacting Goodyear for permissions? (It's hardly necessary to anything - a fictionalized blimp is just as effective). I would love to learn if the name was a reference to filmmaker Robert Aldrich, whose most recent film at the time of the book's publication had been the football movie The Longest Yard. Wonder how director John Frankenheimer might have felt about that...?Allan MacInnishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05394301776870727673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8762075.post-10370578968947755982016-06-12T08:07:14.866-07:002016-06-12T08:07:14.866-07:00In your last photo, the blimp doesn't say &quo...In your last photo, the blimp doesn't say "Goodyear" but rather "Super Bowl".
