Adaptations in Other Media
Stewart and Dietrich, along with a full cast, reprised their roles on the CBS Lux Radio Theatre’s adaptation of the film on 21 April 1952, before a live studio audience.
Its theme, of a concerned airline passenger having unique knowledge of an imminent danger; taking drastic action to eliminate it; then being regarded as insane, is comparable to that of The Twilight Zone episode Nightmare at 20,000 Feet. An additional similarity to the 1983 Twilight Zone movie is that the character of John Lithgow, like that of James Stewart, is portrayed as an engineering expert.

Famous quotes containing the word media:
“One can describe a landscape in many different words and sentences, but one would not normally cut up a picture of a landscape and rearrange it in different patterns in order to describe it in different ways. Because a photograph is not composed of discrete units strung out in a linear row of meaningful pieces, we do not understand it by looking at one element after another in a set sequence. The photograph is understood in one act of seeing; it is perceived in a gestalt.”
