0:34Doris Day’s voice always blows me away.
9:49“Has he always been so jealous?” “No, just since we were married.” Such red flags.
18:20Wow, he was really playing that too.
22:23I quite enjoy a film that’s being narrated.
30:06Whaaat, not believing a woman? Shocking.
37:22How DID he know where she was? Data protection nightmare!
57:46Is it called Amalgamated Airlines? Not a catchy brand.
58:47Brave Cliff.
1:08:14The police bumbling along in the wake of this situation, as per usual.
1:13:21I do like pilots trying to help, coming up with ideas, adorable.
1:19:27Blatant guns on planes seems so odd these days.
1:24:35“You’ve been around airplanes long enough to know something about them.” Yea, but…
1:32:22The doctor is entirely useless.

Thoughts

I had never heard of this film before but just stumbled across it on a collection of a classic movies. I love Doris Day so was intrigued in her being in a more serious role. It's not a great movie, let's be honest, but I like that it just gets on with it. From the start, we're in the action and it's all kicking off. It's melodramatic throughout, but it takes domestic abuse quite seriously, which is refreshing. The ending is obviously out there, but Doris Day gets to land a plane, so who's complaining?

Rating: 2 / 5
