Who is alive from the cast of this movie still ?

It was a good TV movie in the days of TV when I was searching from channel to channel desperate for something to watch. This was entertaining and good. But it was a bunch of guys puttering around with an airplane ??? I never understood why that would appeal to someone to the extent that it would be an all time favorite. I am not saying you are wrong, or even disagreeing that it was a good movie, but there is just not a lot going on.

In a way it kind of reminds me of the Carpenter remake of "The Thing" which I have the same criticism of ... a bunch of guys who cares about trying to survive a monster instead of rebuild an airplane. I always like the original movie because it had these relationships with what seemed like real people who had real lives that represented the public.

Coincidentally, Barrie Chase is now the sole surviving cast member of It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World.

Oh, that's a shame. He was my sister's favorite actor since he played Kurt in Hatari.
