IMDb profile

Come Fly with Me is a 1963 comedy film about three beautiful international airline stewardesses looking for romance and excitement. The film has dramatic or soap opera elements to it, and was a vehicle for glamorizing the jet age and the prestige, adventure and romance that came with being a stewardess.

[edit] Plot summary

The film was shot in Cinemascope and in color. The three stewardesses are based in New York City working for an airline called Polar Atlantic Airways (fictitious). The three serve on a Boeing 707 which made regular flights between New York and Paris or Vienna. Along the way one stewardess (played by Dolores Hart) meets an impoverished Austrian baron (played by Karlheinz Böhm) who turns out to be a diamond smuggler. Another one, a "Southern belle" (played by Pamela Tiffin), develops a crush on the first officer of the airplane (played by Hugh O'Brian), who himself is often getting in trouble for having an affair with a married woman (played by Dawn Addams), whose husband complains to the airline. The third stewardess (played by Lois Nettleton) gets noticed by a multi-millionaire widower from Texas (played by cowboy-hat wearing Karl Malden).
