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. It is based on Bernard Glemser's 1960 chick-lit novel Girl on a Wing,[1] which was published again in 1969 under the title, The Fly Girls.

The film was shot in Cinemascope and in color, during 1962, in New York, Paris and Versailles, Vienna and the Woerther See. It premiered on March 27, 1963.

Plot

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

Production notes

Glemsser wrote a follow-up novel in 1972, The Super-Jet Girls, however it was not made into a film.

Critical reception

Variety wrote upon the film's release, "Sometimes one performance can save a picture and in Come Fly with Me it's an engaging and infectious one by Pamela Tiffin. The production has other things going for it like an attractive cast, slick pictorial values and smart, stylish direction by Henry Levin, but at the base of all this sheer sheen lies a frail, frivolous and featherweight storyline that, in trying to take itself too seriously, flies into dramatic air pockets and crosscurrents that threaten to send the entire aircraft into a tailspin."
