Appreciate the review as I’d not heard of this picture.
Separately: the Airplane! scene with Robert Stack beating up a host of airport solicitors including Hare Krishnas makes me laugh just thinking about it :)
Another short lived Robert Stack show was Mosr Wanted.
An early episode has him impersonating an airline pilot. I couldn’t help but think of Airplane.
Good series.
Maybe it inspired Strike Force that came out later, also with Robert Stack.
