This movie came out in the 50's...I think. A black and white movie. About a guy that had to land an airliner because the pilot had become incapacitated. He struggled with flashbacks from his military days while trying to land the plane. This movie was one of the movies parodied in the movie, "Airplane". What is this movie?

Zero Hour! (1957)
with Sterling Hayden, Dana Andrews and Linda Darnell. Airplane is pretty much this film played for laughs.
