Storyline:The only traffic I have is a TWA L-1011 in your six o'clock position.Range - fifteen miles.There's an Allegheny DC-9 in your twelve o'clock position, fifty miles.Stand by one.I'll take a look at Broadband.AirEast Pilot: AirEast 31 has traffic two o'clock, slightly above and descending.Air Traffic Controller: AirEast 31, Roger.I have a primary target about that position now.I have no known high-altitude traffic.Stand by one.I'll check Low [Altitude].Over...AirEast Pilot: AirEast 31.The traffic's not lower than us.He's one o'clock now, still above me and descending.Air Traffic Controller: AirEast 31.Can you say aircraft type?AirEast Pilot: Negative, Center.No distinct outline.To tell you he truth, the target is rather brilliant.It has the brightest anti-collision lights I think I've ever seen - alternating white to red.The colors are a little striking.TWA Pilot: Center, this is TWA 517.Traffic now looks like extra bright landing lights.I thought AirEast had his landing lights on.As the not-so-routine communications continue, a few of the other Traffic Controllers crowd around the computerized radar screen as an UNK (Unknown) radar blip in the air-position display shows up next to the other two planes.As trench-coated Marlowe drove in his convertible along the Pacific Coast Highway o the designated, isolated rendezvous spot with Marriott crouching down in the back seat, he felt he was being watched ("I was a toad on a wet rock.They perform a wonderful dance together to express the progression of their emotional involvement (from acquaintance through courtship and romance), beginning first with her mimicking his steps.Due to the film's raw, controversially-offensive and critical assessment of hypocritical French military and bureaucratic authorities who callously condemn and sacrifice three randomly-chosen innocent men with execution (for cowardice) for their own fatal blunder, it suffered poor box-office returns, and was banned in France and Switzerland for almost twenty years (until the mid-1970s) following its release.
