Featured review
The recent widower Walter Lucas has 40 million dollars and he's unsure he can find love again?
Some fifty (50) years later women and men are still becoming stewardesses/stewards for travel, fun, exploring, and yet there are many who dream of gaining seniority so that they can take care of the first class passengers, and the private planes in hopes of landing (no pun intended) a rich partner for life. These three (3) stewardesses are human after all and each has their own reasons for choosing their career path but truth be told they are all looking for love and they find it in different ways.
Hugh O'Brian is First Officer Ray Winsley, a pilot on one of these planes has no problem finding women fawn over him including stewardess Carol Brewster (Pamela Tiffin). Donna Stuart (Dolores Hart) has her eyes set on a stuck up and snobbish aristocrat named Baron Franz Von Elzingen (Karlheinz Böhm) who has a specific and criminal use for his smitten stewardess Donna. Last but not least is the senior stewardess Hilda 'Bergie' Bergstrom (Lois Nettleton) who seems to have given up on her dream of landing the perfect man so now she would prefer to use the men she meets to pay for her expensive dinners abroad. An older passenger Walter Lucas (Karl Malden) who shows Bergie his chivalry and good manners unexpectedly also shows Bergie a great time at the Paris fairgrounds until he blurts out that he is more than just a bit angry at the recent death of his beloved wife. Bergie takes Walter's expressed grief in stride and actually admires Walter's honesty as well as his sincere grief for his deceased wife but then Walter blurts out some additional information that puts the compassionate Bergie on her guard. If he was really honest with her why did he not tell Bergie earlier that he was a very wealthy man?
For the early 1960's this romantic/comedy fits the bill and I am sure the producers considered making it into a 1960's television series but the film stars such as Hugh O'Brian, Karl Malden and Lois Nettleton probably realized this was a fluff movie piece and would not hold an audiences attention on a weekly basis as a television series.. Instead Hugh O'Brian went on to star in the 1972 TV Adventure series "Search", Karl Malden went on to star in the 1972 Crime TV series "The Streets of San Francisco", and Lois Nettleton went on to dozens of guest appearances on dozens of TV series in the 1960's, 1970's, and 1980's.
Come Fly With Me is stuck in that 1960's time zone when many women believed being a stewardess and flying all over the world would be a glamorous way to make a living and possibly fine a wealthy man of their dreams. Fast forward some sixty (60) years and the stewardess job is not so appealing with planes falling out of the sky almost every year and civil lawsuits becoming the norm.
I give Come Fly With Me a 6 out of 10 IMDB rating.
