This peculiar film entitled "Jet Terminal" was made by Pan Am Airlines in 1961 to promote the completion of the JFK Airport's Terminal 3, also known by the trademarked name "Worldport." Made with an avant garde fashion that combines black and white footage with color material, and with almost no spoken dialogue or sound effects, the movie shows how the airline's new, high tech terminal makes everything about air travel easy and glamorous.
