I love Jane Wyman! This movie is very sweet. This is definitely a movie for women to enjoy. Unlike the previous reviewer/Howard Keel fanatic, In my opinion, the choice became clear, little by little, through subtle means, which Mike was right, and the last scene clinched it. I don't know the quality of this tape, but the movie itself is a keeper. This is one of those they-don't-make-'em-like-they-used-to's! I wish more of Jane Wyman's movies were available; she was such a good actress.

I absolutely adore this film. Jane Wyman is so adorable. She plays a spunky, all-American girl stewardess in this film that stays off the ground more than on it. Howard Keel is very sexy as her favorite pilot (Mike #1, as I affectionately call him). Keel has, in other movies--especially his musicals--displayed a tendency to overact. Not so in this picture, in which he is extremely masculine and likeable. Van Johnson, who has had the same problem, is very sweet here. For some reason I have never bought into the ultra-suave characters he has played in other films, such as the ones with Esther Williams, but he is adorable as a cute nerd. Mike #3 is the one that virtually no one cares about, and I can't remember who plays him for the life of me. It is actually difficult to predict who Jane will end up with, which is refreshing. I alternated between rooting for Howard and Van, but I think the best man wins out in the end. Please watch this movie! You'll love it!

Jane Wyman is the all American Girl next door as she plays an American Airlines Stewardess during the Golden Age of Aviation. Share in the adventure as she manages to get in all kinds of trouble as she falls for three guys named Mike. A must have Classic for all Jane Wyman fans and airline enthusiasts.

Funny and smart, a "great escape"! Jane Wyman really lights up the screen! I was a stewardess in 1964/65 and this movie brought back memories of a time when "service with a smile" meant something!

A jaunty and humorous romp with early screen debuts that tickle and tease, and delight any and every American Airline Stewardess or Captain working for the company. A delightful gift, and a real giggle for the Airline Professional in your family or acquaintance. Don't miss this classic dream for every young girl growing up in 50's America!

Marcy Lewis (Jane Wyman) has wanted to be an airline stewardess since she was a little girl, and now she has the chance. She is well qualified; her bright personality and eagerness to succeed make her popular with her passengers. In fact, she is especially popular with men, and the ones named Mike take the biggest shine to her.

She meets the first Mike (Howard Keel) on her first flight. He is the pilot, but a mistake makes him dislike her at first. Over time, the two become quite chummy, and when she's assigned to another flight, she's rather sad she has to leave him.

The second Mike (Van Johnson) is a passenger on one of her flights. She tries very hard to win him over, but he only seems interested in his books. They meet again later, though, and he begins to take her out.

The third Mike (Barry Sullivan) is a businessman who helps Marcy on her way to the airport. He takes her out to nightclubs and promises to give her financial security.

This is a lighthearted, fun film that keeps its audience entertained the whole way through. The ending is satisfying, and it is a delight getting there. The print on this edition is far superior to my expectations and there are a few entertaining, although random, extra features included.

I use to watch this movie after school on the 3:30 Afternoon Movie.
I always remembered it and was shocked to see it was on DVD. I prefer older movies everything was classier back in those days. The weren't always in bed int those movies people respected each other. I loved seeing how stewardesses use to be,boy have things changed now. The only downfall was watching it in B & W, other wise it was a pleasure to watch.

the movie was good but this copy is very bad you can get a better copy watching tv

The movie is great fun, but the producers of this DVD really made it a "no-frills" product--not even a menu for scene selection.

Overall the service was good, the movie came quickly, and the movie itself is enjoyable. I'm a Howard Keel fan, which prompted me to buy the movie, and he does a fine job as one of the Mikes interested in Jane Wyman.

Great period comedy about a feisty young woman in search of a career as a stewerdess (and a husband). This is a 'don't miss' for fans of Jane Wyman. As an airplane buff, I found the airliner/airport scenes wonderful. Great production values and costumes.
