Concorde Affaire. 1979.

After a Concorde jet crashes, a journalist believes it was sabotage and goes in search for answers only to find the stewardess had survived the crash.

I'm sure it be no surprise that the Italians jumped on the band wagon for disaster movies and made this one that was released around the same time as Airport: Concorde was released in America.

James Fransiscus plays the investigative journalist who believes someone is sabotaging the Concorde airlines in order to eliminate the compition to flying the friendly skies. Mimsy Farmer plays the French stewardess who hold the answers on how to save the next Concorde before it meets a similar fate.

Ruggero Deodatto does manage to bring some entertainment to the screen, the effects are not the best and seem to be stock footage from another film. There is a nice scuba underwater sequence that leads to a good chase and small street shootout, it's not a masterpiece but it's certainly worth a watch.
