That's how Judith Crist referred to Airport. Correct! Although referring to its old-fashioned, dated story and style, she apparently liked it. If she'd really wanted to be vitriolic about it, she was certainly capable, as she was often called "the most hated critic in Hollywood." What she did in her review for the family film Spencer's Mountain was legendary, calling it sleazy, prurient, and having a "perverted morality." Many in Hollywood wanted her column banned after that, but Earl Hamner, Jr., the author of the book and creator of its TV semi-adaptation, The Waltons, reportedly sent her a fan letter in response. |
