Part Eleven of an increasingly irritating series of movie trivia questions that are in danger of wearing out their welcome.
The movie: Airport (1970)
The question: An arriving passenger tries to smuggle a piece of jewelry past customs by hiding it where?

Dear oh dear....more than 50 years since I saw it! (Although I've seen a few bits since when it's been on TV) Can't answer the question, but interesting film. 1 Lancaster's highest grosser - in fact still number 50 on the inflation adjusted all-time grossers. 2 I'd suggest it's one of the few ensemble casts where the women clearly outshine the men. Badly need to see it again.  |

You can enjoy the opening credits with Alfred Newman's great music.

Jessie Royce Landis is a wealthy elderly woman who tries to smuggle diamonds by attaching them to her little dog's collar. Unfortunately for her, Lloyd Nolan is the customs officer, and he's seen it all.

In what film does a character say, with considerable irony, "Correct in every detail"?

That's either what Toto tells Dorothy after she says she's got a feeling they're not in Kansas anymore or John Wayne says it at the end of "Fort Apache".
