Best movie ever!

Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Jane Wyman has dreams of being a stewardess, but, when her father tells her she talks too much and that could be a detriment, she almost didn't pass the interview. They want people who talk and are interested in people and in helping them. Well, that's Jane, plus more, a lot more. She's not your usual stewardess, as she has a mind of her own and gets into trouble for doing highly unconventional things. Then, she meets Howard Keel, who's named Mike, and who's a pilot. She doesn't know this yet and makes remarks about pilots. They have a antagonistic relationship from thereon, like a rooster and a chicken. Then, she meets Van Johnson, another guy named Mike, an up and coming and promising scientist. Then she meets Barry Sullivan, another guy named Mike, who's in advertising. From there, it takes off. For such a forgotten and inconsequential little film, this is actually very funny and enjoyable, courtesy of writer Sidney Sheldon's script, with quick and snappy one-liners. Of course, one wonders who does Jane pick? She has a good time with each and their scenes together are very sweet, particularly with Van and Howard. So sit back, enjoy the ride and let Jane and company do the rest, in this outing that's great fun!

Jane Wyman got to show her perky side in this 1951 comedy. That was quite a year for Wyman. She also co-starred with Bing Crosby and Franchot Tone that year in "Here Comes the Bride" and gave a magnificent Oscar nominated performance in "The Blue Veil," where she copped a Golden Globe award. (Imagine, beating out Vivien Leigh's "Streetcar Named Deisre," and Shelley Winters in "A Place in the Sun.")In this flick, she portrays a gal who was a born stewardess, except when she forgets to order food for the plane and allows a little girl to have her dog on a flight.In the interim, she meets 3 guys all named Mike. Barry Sullivan, Howard Keel and Van Johnson are the guys. They come from 3 different backgrounds and offer Wyman an opportunity to choose a good life with any of them. I think you will be able to judge who she chooses. Is it the business man, the teaching research assistant, or pilot himself?

I was completely caught off guard by this charming and absolutely entertaining comedy. This film is just right for someone seeking good, clean escapist fun. The story of a small town girl (Jane Wyman, perfectly wonderful in the role)who becomes a flight attendant for American Airlines and is pursued by half the leading men in Hollywood (Van Johnson, Barry Sullivan, Howard Keel), will have you forgetting your troubles and getting happy in no time. Sidney Sheldon co-wrote the screenplay, which continued a successful career highlighted by an Academy Award a few years earlier for his Original Screenplay "The Bachelor and the Bobby Soxer". Although I think June Allyson was just made for the leading role, Wyman proves herself to be a talented comedienne. Breezy, fast paced and fun are key words to describe this delightful soufflé. *** (out of 4)

Honestly, there was no way I couldn't like this movie. As soon as I started watching it, I was hooked. Naturally, it was cheesy and unrealistic (IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE MOVIE AND YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW WHICH MIKE SHE PICKS, DON'T READ ON!). Look, I wasn't expecting a surprise ending. Van Johnson was the first of the "Mikes" in the credits, so naturally my money was on him. I was just hoping for a better explanation of why he got the girl. He didn't do anything the other two Mikes didn't do. Through out the entire movie, Jane Wyman never even showed any favoritism toward him. I hate to say it, but this was an obvious case of "the biggest star" gets the girl. But don't get me wrong. I just think that with a little bit of better writing, they could have pulled it off better. But don't think this movie wasn't worth watching. I loved it!Personally, I would have picked Howard Keel =P
