“Some would like to place significance in the content of Hartu0026#39;s final screen shot, her last before she became a nun in the u0026quot;realu0026quot; world the next year. Unfortunately, as we all know, films are not shot chronologically, so her tearful u0026quot;farewellu0026quot; signifies no deeper meaning. That concept is a bit too u0026quot;Entertainment Tonightu0026quot; for my taste.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnyway, the film is a nicely produced cliché of its genre(s) – the-young-women-in-Europe-for-love, crossed with the stewardesses-as-Mid-60s-sex-symbols. The acting ranges from good (Hart and Nettleton), to miscast (Malden), to just plain grating (Tiffin).u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe plot is silly, although it is mainly Tiffinu0026#39;s scenes that nearly derail the movie.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe one pleasure derived from viewing this period piece, is to appreciate the experience of flying commercial jets in the Golden Age. What was once truly a joy, is now akin to riding a Greyhound Bus in the sky. And when was the last time a u0026quot;flight attendantu0026quot; actually smiled at you? u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe movie is worth a viewing. However, once is enough for me.”
