"Fate Is The Hunter" (1964) Full Movie

Fate Is The Hunter (1964) by 20th Century-Fox, loosely based on Ernest K. Gann's book of the same name, is an early aviation disaster movie involving a plane crash and subsequent investigation led by Glenn Ford. 

I saw it when it first came out as part of a double-feature. I don't recall the other movie, but this one struck a chord with me back then (I was ten years old at the time). Some critics weren't enamored with it, but many people (including me) loved the movie.

I watched it a few months ago on YouTube and it has aged well with great actors. Besides Ford, it stars Glenn Ford, Nancy Kwan, Suzanne Pleshette, Rod Taylor, Nehemiah Persoff, Wally Cox, and Mark Stevens. 

Here's the complete movie for your viewing pleasure:

Cell Phone Movie Night

One of the nice things about my new cell phone is that I can pick up the Internet on it and can watch movies that are posted on YouTube.

Last night, during quiet periods at work, I managed to watch two old movies that are favorites.

The first one was Operation Pacific (1951), starring John Wayne, Patricia Neal and Ward Bond. In this movie, Wayne is a submarine commander who has to figure out why their torpedoes aren't detonating upon impact on enemy ships and ties to woo back his ex-wife (Neal).

It has been a while since I've seen this movie and it was nice seeing The Duke in action.

The second movie was one I saw in an Inglewood, California theater when I was ten years old: Fate Is The Hunter (1964), starring Glenn Ford, Rod Taylor, Nancy Kwan and Suzanne Pleshette. In this movie, Glenn Ford is an executive of an airline company who investigates the crash of a passenger jet after take-off from Los Angeles International Airport that was piloted by an army buddy (Taylor). Fate Is The Hunter is (somewhat) based on a 1961 bestseller by Ernest K. Gann.

Fate Is The Hunter was a very engrossing movie when I was ten and it still is 50 years later.

I have to thank the people who uploaded these movies onto YouTube.
