I love watching these types of movies because they were released when I was just a child, and it's fun to see what women were up to in the early 60's. Since it was made before the women's movement got serious about equal rights, it's no wonder women of a certain age were confused in how to approach the opposite sex (maybe it's just me--in my courting years I wavered between wanting to be like these women or to be a liberated, take charge kind of gal.) Anywho, this film is a mild diversion that certainly won't change your life but at the same time is kind of fun with a little drama thrown in to make it a more "serious" movie. The plot is simple--3 "stews" and their lives and loves while flying all over Europe. What I couldn't figure out is why the Hart character was so cynical and why Nettleton was so scared (illegal marriage notwithstanding.) It seems like a lot was left on the editing room floor that would explain some of the plot points.
I agree that Hart was a pretty good actress and added something to any film she was in. I had no idea this was her last movie before becoming a nun, considering her character seemed like a gold digger with a bad cigarette habit.
I had to come here to find out who the 4th stewardess was. I kept thinking I'd seen her somewhere before but couldn't put my finger on who she was. Now that I found out she was Miss Moneypenny, I'm embarrassed because I've seen her a thousand times in the Bond movies.
I recommend this movie to those who like the early 60's films about relationships before feminism changed everything. It also has some great shots of Paris & Vienna, another reason I like to watch non American films from an earlier time--to see what it use to be like.
