"George C. Scott and Anne Bancroft star in this dramatic retelling of the 1937 Hindenburg disaster. Although the Hindenburg and the Titanic were epic, this movie is not on that scale, but it is still an intriguing, enjoyable tale for any movie viewer who likes nonfiction mixed in with fiction.

Both actors played their parts with expressive maturity, even though there was no extraordinary award-winning performance. Bancroft reminds of those “Look at me, I’m an actress” types, but the remaining cast still got worked into the story. They were a collection of characters from all walks of life, whether good or bad, who convened on a monumental ship that would later prove to be doomed.

For a disaster film, the action and suspense was rather mild. There also seemed to be a lack of resolution at the end. The director could’ve used a little more drama, passion, and terror to keep the viewers at the edge of their seat. However, The Hindenburg did not dwell on special effects or big names to become successful.

And doing a movie about a famous disaster where many people die is not an easy feat. This film, though, is still carried out in a unique, tasteful manner, especially near the end when the explosion in shown in black and white scenes. I found this classic story of the Hindenburg mature, classy, unique, and exciting in its own way."
